Twenty teams will compete in the under-19s competition in 2021.
Eltham has again entered two teams, while Kilmore returns to the under-19 competition for the first time since 2016. North Heidelberg will enter a standalone team after merging a team with Lalor, which competed as Bulldog Bloods, in 2019.
Grading will again take place over the opening four rounds, with all 20 teams to begin in one competition, before being placed into two ten-team divisions after Round 4.
