Manly United FC holds annual trials to provide new and emerging players with the opportunity to join the club’s development and representative programs and compete at some of the highest levels of football in NSW.
Between June and August 2026, the club invited players to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the 2027 season. The EOI process allows Manly United FC to identify players interested in trialling and ensures families receive the latest information regarding trial dates and times.
Trials for the club’s 2027 squads will take place throughout September and October 2026 across the following programs:
- Junior Development League (JDL) – Mixed
- Junior Development League (JDL) – Girls
- Development Squad – Mixed
- Development Squad – Girls
All trial information, including confirmed dates, age-group schedules, and registration details, will be published below and communicated to registered players from the EOI form.
