About the JDL
The program is non-competition based but provides players with an opportunity to play other highly skilled players across NSW.
At the Sutherland Strikers, we divide the MJDL players into two teams, ensuring an equal balance of early-year and late-year birth dates – with the month of June being the midpoint. This approach promotes equitable distribution, avoiding the common practice of concentrating stronger players on a single team.
