AFL Programme Manager, Nancy Patterson said they have changed their selection criteria due to Covid-19 pandemic.
“We were going around the schools based with Year 8 students, and select the best ones, but this year we changed our selection criteria.”
“We are now focused on Years 6 and 7 students, because we understand Year 8 students will be studying for exams.”
In the previous years, AFL visited schools to select the best U15s to represent Vanuatu at an annual tournament that takes place in December.
