Trials for boys teams to participate in the IDCA (President Cup) Competition for the U14 age groups have been moved and will now be held on 18 October 2024 in the Net Facilities at MARK TAYLOR OVAL, HORNSBY at 4PM
If selected the cost of the program is $550.
The matches are played on Sundays and will clash with NSJCA Sunday morning competitions meaning players can not play both on a day when an IDCA match is scheduled. IDCA matches are in December and February.
Please note that while the preference is for IDCA matches to be played on turf where possible, matches will be played on synthetic when turf is not available . Playing matches into Sunday afternoons means various Mens competitions including Shires and Sydney Masters have many of the available grounds booked in the afternoon for the full season. This afternoon clash is why, on occasion, U15 and U17 Turf matches for club will be played on turf in the morning but for IDCA games these grounds are not available.
Please see below for NSJCA eligibility rules, for players to be eligible to trial and play in the IDCA (President Cup) Competition.
