JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
#OMJDP
Following on from the success we had in 2024 with the Sunday Academy, Ethan, Our Director of Football (DOF) will now be running our
Junior Development Programme (JDP) on a Monday night at Swanson Park.
OPEN TRIALS
We wanted to outline the trial process so everyone is aware of the next steps. We will be running OPEN TRIALS on (new day) SUNDAY 4th May for boys and girls who are playing in U9 - U12 teams.
TRIAL DATE & TIMINGS:
Sunday 4th May at Mangere Domain
- 9am Boys aged 9-10
- 10am Boys aged 11-12
- 11am Girls aged 10-11
All players trialing on the Monday's will participate in game-like training where coaches will be watching and assessing where each player is at. After the trials there will be 3 x teams picked made up of:
Girls: 1 x U10/U11
Boys: 1 x U9/U10 & 1 x U11/U12
We will assess players on performance, technical ability, attitude, athleticism/coordination and passion.
Following the trial, we will be in touch with all players via email to outline next steps.
For players not selected for the academy program, we do have a skills development program running every Friday which we encourage all players to attend to develop their skills.
Cost: If you're selected then the cost for the programme will be $200 which covers 2x terms. Sessions will be held on Mondays 5pm to 6pm at Swanson Park, first session will be Monday 12th May.
