We are now officially calling for player applications for the Australian national team in all divisions.
Given the interest level from the preliminary player EOIs in June, it is likely that Australia will only field a team in open, women's, mixed, mixed masters, and possibly open masters.
*If you registered in the preliminary player EOI you must do so again at the links below.*
This will be the most competitive beach worlds selection yet. Two selection camps in November, one in Sydney and one in Melbourne are planned. Players are expected to make at least one camp, but have the option of attending both. Players not able to make either camp should discuss their situation with the selectors (see names below).
Please register for *each* of the divisions you wish to try out for, and are eligible for, below. In the comments you should indicate your first preference.
Registration for all teams

Note: You can register in more than one division
Finally you must register and pay your initial deposit of $250 by *August 31st 2014* to be considered. This deposit is refunded if you are not selected.
