It's just days until the Parramatta Junior Rugby League hosts the inaugural Parramatta Tri-Series.
The competition will see 185 players from divisions two and three allocated into three "district" teams: North, Central and South.
A select group of coaches have been put through a new, innovative coaching course with Parramatta Eels development staff, and then given the task of working with an unfamiliar area and a new group of players.
The structure aims to give new experience to coaches, as well as a new opportunity for young players who may not have participated in representative games in the past.
With the teams' regular Wednesday night training sessions now wrapped up, the competition kicks off on Sunday, July 10, at McCredie Park in Guildford.

North v South Under 14s - 9.00am
