Junior Development League
Weston Bears Football Club is a historic and community-focused club based in the New South Wales Hunter Valley.Our junior squads participate in the Northern NSW Junior Development League (JDL), the highest level of football for junior players in the region.
The NNSWF Junior Development League is a key component of Football Australia’s National Curriculum.
The Program is designed to perfect and accelerate the skill development of identified players between the critical ages of 9 to 12. This is the age group universally acknowledged to be the optimal mental and physical phase in which children are able to learn motor skills.
The Weston Bears play an important role in providing a best practice training environment and youth training plan, while also providing JDL Academy Carnivals for players to test their skills in a competitive environment.
