Round 2 of Panorama’s trials this weekend
The trials for the teams from U/13 to U/19, as well as the SAB League will continue this weekend.
Panorama Football Club held the first round of its trials last weekend, with the second set to take place this Saturday.
Panorama announced recently that they had undertaken the decision to purchase the rights for and to launch a team that will take part in the South African Breweries (SAB) Regional League next season.
Panorama’s team will be taking part in the SAB Johannesburg League, which forms part of the SAB Regional League structure which itself acts as the fourth tier of domestic football in South Africa.
The Northsider was informed of the next step in Panorama’s growth as a club by its chairman, Michael Michael, who also indicated that the paperwork for the team’s SAB League status is in its final stages.
The decision comes shortly after the club launched its brand new five-a-side soccer courts which in their own right were a big step for the club. The club’s SAB League status is simply the next step in the club’s development, since they only started taking part in the Gauteng Development League (GDL) with their academy sides (U/13 to U/19) a few years ago.
This will now grant their academy players an opportunity to be exposed to a higher level of football in a league where they will be pitted against many a development side belonging to some of the strongest Premier Soccer League (PSL) clubs. The trials for the SAB side will be limited to players who were born in 1998 or more recent, as the league is restricted to U/21 players.
While the older boys will be sticking their heads out to try and qualify for the club’s SAB team, there will also be trials for the GDL teams at the club, these being the U/13 to U/19 teams. For the U/13 side, players must be born in 2006 or later, U/15s must be born in 2004 or later, U/17s must be born in 2002 or later, and U/19s must be born in 2000 or later.
Trials will take place at Panorama Football Club on Saturday, 6 July, from 9am onward and all players seeking to take part will need to bring along a valid proof of identification to reliably determine which side they will be trying out for. If you would like any further details on the trials, you can contact the club’s academy sides manager, Fabian Brooks, on 076 896 1257.
