On Wednesday, April 12th, we held our annual Junior Gunners Ball Squad trials at the Arsenal Hub.
150 Young Guns, aged between 12-16 years, were tested on their catching, throwing, agility, co-ordination and attitude to team work.
The Junior Gunners Team now have their work cut out to whittle down the candidates to a squad of twenty. The final Ball Squad of twenty Young Guns will commit to support Arsenal at Emirates Stadium for every matchday during season 2017/18.
The opportunity to be part of our Ball Squad is only available to our Junior Gunners Young Guns members - find out more about being a member here.
Take a look at what our Young Guns got up to at the trials in our gallery...
