New Zealand Mako Flag Football
The following is a message from Coach Soysa – the Head Coach for the Campaign to the IFAF World Flag Championships being held in Denmark in 2020.
“With the upcoming World Championships confirmed for Denmark in 2020, the NZ Mako coaching and management staff (myself, Jordan, Shane and Brendan) are excited about getting underway with the 1st step of the National team selection process – the Regional Trials. A NZ Flag High performance unit will be selected from the various regional trials and this group will be invited to participate in a series of national trial camps before the 15 man NZ Mako team is selected. We have been working hard with the support of NZAFF to ensure that this campaign builds on the success of the 2016 campaign and is run at the highest standard, befitting that of a national team. To anyone in the NZ football, flag and wider sporting community, we hope to see you at one of our trials – this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase what we are capable of on the world stage!”
