Trial for the Docceroos
The Australian Medical Football Team (aka Docceroos) are a team of Australian doctors who love playing soccer and competing together against medical teams from other countries.
Are you a doctor who loves playing football? Try out for the Australian Docceroos Squad! This 2-day event will combine an interstate football tournament with selection trials for a squad to compete at the next World Medical Football Championships (1st - 8th July 2023) in Vienna, Austria.
The trials will consist of a series of 11 v 11 shortened games throughout the day in addition to further short games and football drills organised by Dean Ugrinic (Docceroos coach) for doctors wishing to be considered for selection in the Docceroos squad for 2023. It is likely that some states will have more than one team. All doctors and medical students are welcome to join this event. There will be refreshments provided and fund raising for charity. Payment covers use of the facilities at Monash University, referees and catering.
For a player to be eligible for selection they need to have graduated and turned 25 by the start of the tournament (2nd July 2023). The squad also requires a number of players over 35 and over 40 to fulfill the tournament rules. There is also a separate masters comp for over 45s held at the same time.
