TUFC Development Program in 2027
The goal of the NSFA JDL (Junior Development League) is to improve development opportunities for players and coaches within our local football clubs, while also underpinning the Northern Tigers JDL and the NSFA Super League and Diamond League competitions.
The NSFA JDL Clubs have been announced for 2027 and Turramurra United is extremely pleased to be able to offer this program to our players in U8-U11 again in 2027.
TUFC will be entering teams in the NSFA Junior Development League (JDL) in 2027. Teams in each age group will receive 2 nights a week with KANO coaching for at least 26 weeks in the 2027 football season (including the pre-season) and match-day coaching.
There are additional costs associated with JDL to support coaching, and expectations on players in terms of attendance and attitude at training and game days.
JDL teams will be largely finalised by late November following trials, although some players may be taken on later should there be space in the teams.
Training will be on a Tuesday and Thursday from 5:00pm.
Turramurra United Football Club JDL teams will receive:
- A training and match day coach.
- At least 26 weeks of 2 nights a week training.
- 20 weeks of matches (+ pre-season trial games).
FAQ
What if my child does not make or doesn’t want to try out for a Junior Development League team?
Community football is a major focus at TUFC, and we will continue to run as many teams as we can to serve players in the U8-U11 age group, especially for those who just want to play with their friends
