vjbl changes in 2026

Sent out by my kids' club today ... not seen it mentioned elsewhere.

Interested to know what people more learned and steeped in the history of this comp think. In summary, for U12 what was VJBL 6-13, and for U14 from VJL 9-13, is now rebranded into a regional league.

Not sure if much different and just a rebrand?

I wonder how much the 'status' of playing in a 'Victorian Junior' rather than 'Regional' league will affect people, and whether that will affect how clubs try and position their teams too?

And that Gippsland/Peninsula geographical group looks mighty big too. Not sure I'd be super pleased if I was living in Dromana to have my kid in a regional team needing to head to Warragul or Korumburra for a Regional League game on a Friday night.

A long time coming and finally BV are committing to this after some movement towards this in the past.

*the regions are designed as a guide not set in stone. The attempt to reduce maximum travel by 40kms may not seem a lot but its progress. The VJBL is too big not sustainable and lost its purpose.

So many State Associations hid behind their clubs and refuse to openly share this information directly with the public which is disappointing. Thanks for sharing.
