23 MAY 2023 BY: AFL VICTORIA
The 2023 Metro Junior Development Series will be played on May 31, June 10 and 12

More than 1200 of the most talented under 14 and 15 boys and girls competing in community football leagues across metropolitan Melbourne will participate in the expanded AFL Victoria Metro Junior Development Series in 2023.

The series gives community leagues the opportunity to pick players whose performance at local club level has warranted selection to participate in the interleague competition, as part of the talent pathway to higher-level programs for boys and girls, such as the Coates Talent League.

The seven leagues represented are Eastern Football Netball League, Essendon District Football League, Northern Football Netball League, Riddell District Football Netball League, South Metro Junior Football League, Western Region Football League and Yarra Junior Football League.

The competition commences with night matches taking place on Wednesday, May 31, before continuing on the King’s Birthday long weekend with games to be played on Saturday, June 10 and Monday, June 12.

The competition has expanded to now include an Under 14 Girls division, with a total of 69 matches to be played across the three match days in the following seven divisions:

  • U15 Boys Division 1 and 2
  • U15 Girls Division 1 and 2
  • U14 Boys Division 1 and 2
  • U14 Girls Division

25 different venues will host matches across the series, including RSEA Park in Moorabbin and Avalon Airport Oval in Werribee.
