2027 Girls Youth League 2 (GYL 2) EOI open for U14–U18.

Hills District · U14–U16

Trials: The 2027 player EOI closed on 31 July 2026. Contact the club directly if you are still interested. · EOI Closes 31 July

Hills United FC fields a Girls Youth League 2 side across U14, U15 and U16 — GYL 2 is the second tier of girls football in NSW and does not run a U18 division. The club routed interested players to its single "Player EOI - 2027 Season" form, which closed on 31 July 2026, 1:14pm. Worth confirming with the club that GYL was covered by that form rather than handled separately — its public EOI listing itemises the Mixed JDL, Girls JDL and Boys Youth League squads by name and groups the remaining programs together without naming them.

Illawarra

Trials: No Youth trial dates have been announced. The club has published trial dates for its Girls JDL age groups (U10–U13) only.

2027 player expression of interest open for Illawarra Stingrays' Youth and senior girls squads, via the club's Jotform.

The trial dates announced so far cover the JDL age groups only — nothing yet for Youth League.

Newcastle / Hunter · U13–U17

Official 2027 player EOI covers JDL and Youth League.

Hills District · U14–U18

Trials: No 2027 GYL trial date announced yet. The club's Womens Youth League program page says girls Youth League players trial January–February with matches March–September, but that reads as general program information rather than a dated 2027 announcement — confirm with the club. Note the JDL trials are much earlier, in September 2026.

One 2027 player EOI covers JDL, Youth League and senior squads. Age groups U14, U15, U16 and U18 — taken verbatim from the club's Womens Youth League program page (spiritfootballclub.com/programs/womens-youth-league), which places the squads in Football NSW Girls' Youth League One, the top tier of girls football in NSW. There is no U17 squad. The club's September 2026 trial announcement covered JDL only; no GYL trial date has been published. No trial or season fee published.

Wanderers Girls Academy 2027 EOI (open application). Distinct from the invite-only boys academy and the non-selective Pre-Academy Development Program.

Newcastle / Hunter

Trials: TBA

The Jets Pre-Academy runs in school-term blocks with entry decided by a trial and assessment in the first weeks of term — the 2026 (Term 1) intake has passed and no 2026/27 or 2027 registration has been published yet.

Eastern Suburbs · U10–U12

Trials: EOI open now via Sydney FC's Airtable form. Program runs Term 4 2026 to Term 3 2027 (40 weeks), Sundays 5:30–7:30pm at Sky Park, Macquarie Park. $1,600.

For boys in U10 (born 2017), U11 (2016) and U12 (2015) who are already in JDL or development squads at a local association or NPL club. Every place is by application and pre-selection by Sydney FC, so submitting the form does not guarantee a trial. The 2025/26 intake is full. Girls of a similar age have a parallel Female Training Program (U11–U13) that uses the same EOI form.

Western Sydney

Trials: TBA

The Elite Pre-Academy is invitation-only for players identified inside the open-registration Pre-Academy program — there is no public EOI or trial for the elite tier.

Macarthur

Trials: Rolling EOI — the club reviews submissions as they arrive and contacts players it wants to see at a trial. No published trial dates.

Bulls FC Academy runs a standing expression-of-interest form covering boys, women and girls (and coaches). It is a rolling process: the club says it monitors submissions frequently and will make contact if it wants more information or wants to invite a player to a trial, and that only successful applicants are contacted. Heads-up before you click: the EOI page still headlines the 2025 NPL season, so the copy is out of date even though the form is live — worth confirming the intake season with the club before you rely on it.

Central Coast

Trials: No trial dates have been published. Entry is by expression of interest — one form for Youth NPL, and one covering both Girls and Mixed JDL.

Entry to the Mariners academy for 2026/27 is by open expression of interest rather than invitation. The academy opportunities page carries two player EOIs: Youth NPL, covering boys and girls, and JDL, whose single form covers both Girls JDL and Mixed JDL. No trial dates, venue, fee or closing date has been published, and the club has previously noted it may not trial age groups whose squads are already full.

Newcastle / Hunter

Trials: TBA

The Jets hold no open trials for their senior squad and academy entry runs through the Emerging Jets pathway with Northern NSW Football, which holds annual trials — no 2026/27 trial dates are published yet.

Eastern Suburbs

Trials: TBA

Academy squads are scouted — Sydney FC states there is no application or trialling process open to players; talent is identified year-round ahead of U13 squad selection, and the ATP is the main entry route for younger players.

Western Sydney

Trials: TBA

This link is the Wanderers Girls Academy 2027 expression of interest — it covers girls only. The Wanderers have not published an equivalent open form for boys' academy entry, which is generally by scouting and invitation, so boys' families should contact the club directly rather than use this form.

Caution resolved: the IFA member is Newcastle Elite Football Academy (nefacademy.com.au) at Highfields, matching the DB row's suburb - but the DB website elitefootballacademy.com.au belongs to an unrelated 'Elite Football Academy' with no Newcastle or NEFA connection, so the DB website needs correct
