CREATING TEAMS/ GRADING/ A-B TEAM TRIALS

You can submit a nomination to create your own team in any age group, this requires player numbers and a coach and manager submission. Forms are attached with instructions, this needs to be submitted to the relevant Football Manager. THE BELOW GRADING INFORMATION STILL APPLIES TO THESE TEAMS SO PLEASE READ ON.

TEAM NOMINATION FORM 8 YEARS

TEAM NOMINATION FORM 9 YEARS

TEAM NOMINATION FORM 10 & 11 YEARS

Under 8’s

There is no grading for this age group. Player's can choose to play with friends or current team mates if they wish. If you would like to be placed in a specific team, please include this information in the provided comment section of your registration, so your child can be allocated into that team. We will endeavour to keep teams together if you wish. Under 8s is a semi-graded competition and teams will be allocated their “grade” with the assistance of parent feedback (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced).

Under 9s to Under 18s

You can choose whether you wish to have your child placed into a team based on their relative skill level, or you can choose to play with friends and/or a specific team.

We hold a grading days for our under 9's to under 18's- IT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT ALL PLAYERS ATTEND GRADING REGARDLESS OF IF THEY’RE PLAYING SOCIALLY OR FOR COMPETITIVE GRADING.

Grading all players ensures we are able to have our teams playing in the correct grade of competition, playing in the wrong grade for the team can mean a very dismal and disappointing season if you are placed too high and lose all your games- this is why we require that our social teams created by friends have its players graded.

 

ADDITIONAL GRADING TRIALS FOR HIGH LEVEL TEAMS 9-18 YEARS:

A-B GRADE TRIALS

For our A or B graded teams we have individual player trials. These teams are highly competitive and so we hold a separate trial session for players who are interested in grading into these teams, this is in addition to the all player grading day – players are expected to attend both sessions. We welcome any player who is interested in playing at a higher grade level to attend – it is not by invite, all registered players can attend the trials for these teams. Grading during the trials helps us determine if the team will be A or B grade. No friend requests are considered when grading for a spot in a A/B team.  

 

 
 
 
 

NEW IN 2023 - GIRLS @ GOSFORD UNDER 9 & UNDER 11 COMPETITION

Our Central Coast Football competition is very committed to growing female football on the coast, and a part of that is increasing the availability of our all girls competitions- and Gosford City FC fully supports this and can't wait to see more girls playing football! We are excited that in 2023 we see the introduction of an all girls competition for our under 7, under 9 and under 11 age groups.

We want our girls to have the option of playing in mixed teams or in an all girls competition, and it is their choice which they'd like to play in.

CLUB COMMUNICATIONS DURING THE SEASON:

Our club communications are sent out from 'Stack Team App', this is an app which is free for our club to use- which offers us many features and means our messages can get directly to you. We're asking that all parents of players and players please download this app to ensure that you are aware of what is happening this season. 

We are also active on social media, both Facebook and Instagram, but these are more community based  rather than internal club information so it is necessary to be on the 'Stack Team App' so you get everything relevant to you. We do hope to see you on our social media too though!
