We now provide a JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT pathway through Ku-ring-gai Phoenix FC.
Phoenix FC is an exciting opportunity for talented players who are driven and committed to play Junior Development League (JDL), Girls Junior Development League (GJDL), Super League or Diamond League football.
Previously, JDL (formerly SAP) opportunities had only been available outside of our club. Through this partnership with Gordon FC and coaching partners at Vision Football we can now offer a higher level pathway for kids across the Ku-ring-gai area.
There is of course a trial based selection process and should your child be successful in any of our age groups offered, then he/she will represent Phoenix FC for the ensuing winter season. Noting that selected players would register for Phoenix FC via a preferred home club (i.e. North Turramurra or Gordon). This model gives our Phoenix FC players access to the resources and benefits provided at both development AND community level.
Confirmation of team entry will be subject to final numbers. Selection trials are conducted in November via our qualified coaching partner VISION FOOTBALL with information on age groups and trial dates below.

JunioR Development League (JDL & GJDL)
Phoenix FC offers JDL teams (mixed) Under 8 to Under 11 as well as GJDL teams (Girls only) Under 10 to Under 11 for players who aspire to play at the very TOP levels of community football. JDL underpins development pathways into Super League and Diamond League age groups 12+ and/or representative football with Northern Tigers.
Phoenix FC will field JDL1 teams in each age group for 2026. JDL teams require a higher level of commitment than community football with professional coaching, preseason matches and training twice weekly. Trials are held with our professional coaching partners each year. Places are then offered to selected players shortly after the final trial.
NOTE - There are additional costs associated with JDL teams to support coaching, and expectations on players in terms of attendance, attitude at training and game days. Detailed information on coaching and registration costs will be provided directly to parents. Pre season training is expected to commence in February 2026.
