NWS Spirit FC has confirmed trial dates for various programs in the 2025 season.
NWS Spirit FC’s Junior Development League (JDL), formerly known as SAP, trials will take place on Sunday October 13 at Christie Park. This is for players who live in the NWSF association or played for a local NWSF club to progress to a full-time representative program. There is a Mixed SAP program for U9 to U12 players, and a Womens SAP program for U10 to U13 players. Full information can be found here.
NWS Spirit FC’s Womens Youth League (WYL) will also hold trials in October. WYL is a full-time representative program for talented female players that competes in Football NSW competitions and train three nights a week. The competition season is 27 rounds, and includes a finals series, taking place from March to September. Please note due to a high retention rate of existing players, positions in these squads are currently limited. At these trials, we will consider for these final positions and will also be selecting NWSF pathway player positions, which enable a player to train twice a week with a WYL squad while still playing for their local NWSF club. Full details can be found here.
NWSF’s Association Youth League (AYL) is a full-time representative program that competes in Football NSW competitions. AYL teams train three times a week until May, and then twice a week from May to October. The competition season is 27 rounds, and includes a finals series, taking place from March to September. It is closely linked to NWS Spirit FC and complements our representative pathway as the connection between our local NWSF clubs, and NPL. Full details can be found here.
