Junior Girls Development Programme
The Junior Development Teams (Development Programme) are the top talent teams for each of our Junior grades and are for players that wish to train and play two times a week with a dedicated coach.
Northern Region Football (NRF) administers the draws, which are available online. Any changes to this will be communicated by your team manager and/or coach.
The football season will play over term 2 and term 3 of the school calendar. Start date is in May and will finish late September. There will be no football over the first two weekends of the July school holidays but there will be football on the last weekend of the holidays.
