Juniors U12–U17

Darebin United’s Junior program supports boys and girls from Under 12 to Under 17 in a structured, development-focused team environment. Players are assessed through the club’s Identify, Develop, Evaluate and Build model, with clear expectations around training, attendance, behaviour and teamwork. Under 12 to Under 17 covers players born from 2015 to 2010 for the 2027 season. Eleven-a-side squads target 17–18 players. Junior trials are held during November at Mayer Park, with offers and team viability decisions made during December. If a viable team cannot be formed, affected players will be advised and released in December.
