Watch Head of Youth Football Paul Reid share his plans for The Sharks in 2025

JOIN THE SUTHERLAND SHARKS in 2025

Sutherland Sharks are preparing for a strong 2025 season under the new Head of Youth Football, Paul Reid. With fresh leadership and a renewed vision, we are seeking expressions of interest from players wishing to be considered for trial opportunities for the 2025 season.

We enter teams in the NSW NPL 1 Men, Boy’s Youth League 1 and Boys SAP, the highest level of football in NSW. Trial windows are set by Football NSW and as such we can not provide a trial date and time for particular age groups at this stage. Please complete the below forms if you would like to be advised of trial opportunities. Registration is essential and we will be in touch when trial dates become available.

Please note: Existing Sharks SAP and Youth players do not need to register.
