WABL Trials & Training

Trial Registrations

Registrations for our 2022 WABL program are now CLOSED – 2022 State Championships registrations will open in September.

There are normally two pathways to trial with the Cockburn Cougars, and this will be in effect for State Championships 2022:

1. If you have played for the Cougars in the past 12 months OR play in Cockburn’s domestic competition, you can trial by registering normally.
2. If you have NOT played for the Cougars in the past 12 months and DO NOT play in Cockburn’s domestic competition, you can apply to become a registered athlete, subject to approval.

The Cockburn Cougars WABL trial process has now concluded for 2022:

Trials: In 2023, this will happen over a two week period in January, with final teams announced in early February.
