Squad Selection
Squad decisions are made during the Post Season period (June–July), when trialists may be offered one of two roles:
-
JPL Player: Involved in both training and match fixtures
-
Squad Player: Training-only role, with the possibility of match opportunities as needed
​
We acknowledge that the selection process can be a challenging and uncertain time for families. It is also a period of careful consideration for our coaching staff, who work to build balanced, competitive squads for Junior Premier League competition.
All players and trialists will be contacted with an update on their place in the programme during the selection period.
