John Evans, Toby Blissett, Henry Delves, Dean Robertson and Jed Hillman are no strangers to representative level play but the three-day trials will require them to lift again.

The Joss State Zone Trials will form one component of the Rams selection process with the Sydney Swans and GWS Giants Academy series to help decide the complete state squad.

If the local contingent is selected in the Rams squad they will get the opportunity to play in the under 18 national championships next year, which if often only a step away from a spot in an AFL club.

State talent and coaching manager Darren Denneman said there was potential from all in the Riverina side to make the next step.

"We saw 19 NSW/ACT players listed by AFL Clubs this year and we truly believe there is the potential for more local players to make it in the AFL," Denneman said.

"The Joss State Zone Trials presents itself as one opportunity for players to improve their games by taking full advantage of the resources available to them.

"For three days, players get access to coaches 24/7 so there are visual and verbal mechanisms available to them, as well as the recovery processes in place to ensure players play at their best each match.

"We aim to make the camp as though the players are part of an AFL club and hopefully they'll come out of the carnival with a heightened level of enthusiasm to take their game to the next level."

The under 18 Joss State Zone Trial will be held at Coffs Harbour from January 15 to 18.
