PJFC Teams and Age Group Planning 2026


Our 2026 team plans are outlined below, subject to registration numbers.

Early registrations are encouraged to support our planning.

Under 8 – Under 10:

  • Girls: Aiming for a combined U8/U9 team, and 1 team Under 10 (subject to registrations).
  • Mixed/Boys: At least 2 teams per year level, possibly 3.

 Remember: Balanced teams encourage fun, friendship, and skill development!

 Under 11 – Under 14:

  • Girls: 1 team each in Under 11 and Under 12, and 2 teams in Under 13 and Under 14.
  • Mixed/Boys: At least 2 teams per year level, with a 3rd if registrations allow.

Under 15 – Under 16:

  • Girls: 1 combined U15/U16 team.
  • Boys: 3 Under 15 teams; 1 Under 16 team, with a 2nd possible based on registrations.

Under 17 – Under 18:
We aim to provide continued opportunities for players in Years 10–12, balancing school commitments and community football. Thanks to SMJFL for supporting age exemptions for players above the limit but still in school.

  • Girls: 1 combined U17/U18 team.

Boys: 1 Under 17.5 team (year 11 & 12).

 

Registration Fees

 

Registration fees will be $405, of which $345 will go to PJFC for its football program and $60 goes directly to the league. There are no changes to PJFC fees for 2026.

To ensure there are no financial barriers to participation, PJFC has some flexibility in relation to player registration fees in some circumstances. In particular, the club has a program to support players and families who may find meeting the costs of registration and participation a challenge. We also provide reduced fees for players who are part of a talent pathway with limited availability to play for PJFC. 

If you would like a discussion about registration fees, please reach out to our Registrar prior to registering your child.

Wait Lists

 

We aim to avoid over - or under - subscribing teams, as this affects both players and families. As in previous years, team sizes are limited, and registrations are first-come, first-served.

Once a team reaches capacity, we will pause registrations for that age group and put a Waitlist in place to ensure we have enough players to form another team. We will provide regular updates on teams and capacity via our website & newsletter.

🚨 If you receive an error when registering via PlayHQ, it is likely we have paused registrations for that age group and a waitlist is in place. Registrations will only reopen for that age group if there are enough waitlisted players to form an additional team.

If you receive an error when trying to register and would like to go on a waitlist, please email Peter Cotter: registrar@prahranjfc.com.au

Registrations remain open after 1 February, but may close for some age groups after that date as we finalise team allocations.

Existing PJFC players have priority for team placements until 1st February. After that, player transfers from other clubs will be accepted. For this reason, we encourage early registration.

If your child decides not to play for PJFC this year, please notify us to assist with team planning - registrar@prahranjfc.com.au
