How to Register:
In February and March, we will process almost 1400 player registrations and sort all players into 110 teams across all age groups ready for the season kick-off. It is a mammoth task, and we try our best to accommodate all requests.
Step 1: Expression of Interest for Trials
Players wanting to trial for the remaining MJL team vacancies and higher divisional teams (eg: Division 1) should express interest to attend trials between January 29th and February 4th.
Submit an expression of interest here to receive more information.
Step 2: Notification of Trial Outcome and Registration
Soon after trials, you will be notified if the player will be placed in a MJL or Divisional team.
We will email all parents/guardians the name of the team they have been allocated to, the names of all the players allocated to that team, and the names and contact details of the nominated parent/guardian so you can start to make contact with each other.
You will then be asked to formally register and pay registration fees through the Squadi platform. Squadi is Football Queensland’s official registration platform. Please note that you should not register in Squadi until your team is finalised as there is a no refund policy.
