KU-RING-GAI PHOENIX
North Turramurra FC has entered into a new junior development level partnership with Gordon FC for season 2025 and beyond. This development partnership brings together our two foundation clubs to operate as Ku-ring-gai Phoenix FC.
Phoenix FC (for short) is an exciting opportunity for talented local players who are driven (and committed) to play Junior Development League, Super League and Diamond League football. Till now, Junior Dev League (or JDL) opportunities had only been available outside of both clubs, so through this partnership we can now offer this pathway. There will of course be a trial process for selection and if your child is successful in an age group offered, then he/she will play for Phoenix FC. Noting that selected players would still register via a Phoenix FC registration package with their home club (i.e. North Turramurra or Gordon).
Phoenix FC currently provides Junior Development League ages U8 to U11 and G10 with G12 Diamond League and Development Squad places for Division 2 teams. 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 available age groups and dates below.

JunioR Development League
The previous NSFA SAP League was renamed to Junior Development League (JDL) in 2024.
JDL teams are for Under 8 - Under 11 and G10 players who want to play at the very TOP levels of community football. JDL underpins development pathways into Super League, Diamond League and the Northern Tigers.
Phoenix aspires to have JDL 1 & 2 teams in each age group. 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. Training is expected to commence in February.
