Junior Gunners

Apply for 2023/24 Ball Squad Trials

Ball Squad trials 2023/24

We’re now recruiting talented, motivated and committed Junior Gunners to be part of our elite ball squad, starting in August 2023! 

The ball squad is an integral part of every Arsenal home matchday, who assist the First Teams by keeping the game flowing from their pitch-side seats. Our 20-person team are exclusively Young Guns Members, so if you're a JG who will be aged 12-16 in Season 2023/24, we want to see you at trials. 

Trials will take place on Saturday June 3, 2023 at Emirates Stadium. You’ll be tested on your throwing and catching ability, teamwork, leadership, discipline and much more. For your chance to join us, please complete the form below. Please note there is currently industrial action scheduled to take place across train lines on this day. 

Trial places are limited so let us know why you would be the best ball squad member and why you should be selected. If we are over subscribed, selection will be based on your application so make sure to fill in as much detail as possible.

Please note: You must be available to attend every fixture held at Emirates Stadium in Season 2023/24. This includes all men's, women’s, under-23's and Youth Cup matches held at the Emirates Stadium. After all night games, a parent/guardian will be required to pick you up at Emirates Stadium.

The deadline to send your application is Sunday 21st May at 11:59PM (UK time) and entry is open to paid Junior Gunners Members who will be aged 12-16 years in Season 2023/24 only. Please use your Junior Gunners Membership details and ensure you have parental permission to apply. If selected, successful invites will be sent to the email address registered to your Junior Gunners account and final date and trial times will be included in your confirmation email.

Parents or guardians of successful applicants will be asked to sign and complete an imagery consent form so that imagery and video of the trialists can be captured on the day. Please consider this carefully before applying. Successful applicants must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian to the trials.
