An emphasis on fundamentals and skill development will again be in the spotlight when the Hostplus SANFL U14 competition begins on Saturday.

Introduced in 2024, the Hostplus SANFL U14 competition involves the eight SANFL clubs playing each other once across a seven round season.

But there will be a much sharper resolve to entrench the basics of Australian Football amongst all players as they begin their talent pathway in the nation’s strongest State League.

Coaches are encouraged to use players in a series of different positions throughout the season, so they are exposed to multiple roles.

Like last season, there is no premiership ladder or points on offer for each victory.

The Hostplus SANFL U14 competition will conclude by Thursday April 10, ensuring the impact on metropolitan and country community clubs is minimised.

Matches will be primarily played at regular SANFL venues, with Sturt and North Adelaide to host games in their regional zones.

After clashing with the Redlegs in Whyalla last year, the Roosters will this time put their youngsters to the test in Port Pirie while the Double Blues have three encounters scheduled for the Summit Sports and Recreation Park in Mount Barker.

Hostplus SANFL U14 matches towards the end of the season will be played in conjunction with SANFL U16 and U18 games, giving players an insight where their pathway will lead to once they compete in the U15 Intrastate Carnival the following year.

For the first time, all Hostplus SANFL U14 matches will be available to watch live and on-demand via the SANFL Now streaming platform.

In 2025, viewers will have the ability to rewind live matches in real time, meaning they will never miss a minute of action. To subscribe, click here
