2024/25 Season Squads

Good Evening All, 

We have had a technical issue with the Graphics for the squad announcements that we have designed, unfortunately they will not display as an image so we cannot share the squads in image form. Not really an issue other than it just doesn't look as eye catching as we had planned. 

The show must go on of course - So to ensure we stick with the deadline of today we have gone with the below. 

We have added everyone to their relevant team/squad on Sportmember - you will be in one of the following groups which will of course indicate the squad you are in as well the other players in that squad. Please note from our previous news article the explanations on each squad and the details regarding them. 

• Blacks 
• Yellows 
• Whites 
• Blues (2024/25 U14s only)
• Academy Training Group (2024/25 U14s only)

Coel is starting to change the age groups on Sportmember to 2024/25 season ages on your app so you may get a few notifcations - please dont panic

as it will all work out to be a little bit easier to navigate. 

Most age groups are pretty self explanatory in that you are in the group that you will both train and play in. 

The following groups are not so straight forward (2024/25 age groups)

• Under 12s - Grimey has informed people of their training group and match group as some players will be training and playing in different groups due to numbers across the age group, please check your messages as he has informed everyone of this via direct messages. He will also hold a zoom meeting to explain in full. 

• Under 13s Whites - This is a big squad, Ranks will explain how we will manage this group and how selection will work. Not everyone in the whites squad will play in the JPL games. 

• Under 16s - with a number of players due to head out on trial at pro acadamies in pre season these squads are not yet 100% finalised. We also still have trialists coming in to esnure we can be as strong as possible across both JPL teams and ensure we finish the boys final season in Junior football on a positive.  

Everyone will receive a message from either the age group lead or your team manager (in your group chat) to welcome you to the particular team you are in ahead of the 2024/25 season. 

Our first media day will be held on Tuesday 23rd July at training. Weather permitting of course. Our head of media will be down to capture the boys for our social media posts during the 2024/25 season. Training will not be affected in any way. The schedule will be shared on your calendar shortly. For those that will already be away, there will be another media day before the season starts. 

There will be a lot of admin to cover over the next couple of weeks - our club sec, Ange, will be busy getting everyone registered, please ensure you keep an eye out for any messages she sends you requesting you to complete and documents etc. This will be very important that she doesnt have to chase as this is a massive operation to sort. 

2024/25 season match shirts - we will wear the same match shirts as last season. These are available to purchase on our shop. Squad numbers will be allocated by us for any new players. Requests will be taken but Ange will just allocate any number if your preferred choice is already taken. This will be the final season with this match shirt. We always have a 2 year cycle on the match shirts.

Well done to everyone and once again, we cannot wait to get the season started. - There will be a lot more to cover but for now we will leave it there. 

See you at training
