NSFA Junior Development League

The goal of the NSFA JDL is to improve development opportunities for players and coaches within our local football clubs, while also underpinning the Northern Tigers JDL and the NSFA Super League and Diamond League competitions.

The NSFA JDL League is managed by NSFA and Northern Tigers Technical Director Jason Eagar, and further supports the strategic objectives of the NSFA in providing professionally run development pathways for aspirational NSFA footballers.
