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.  

 

• With introductory, non-competition age groups in our Juniors from Under 8′s to Under 11's.
• Your kids will learn basic football and social skillsin a fun team environment, fully supervised by our coaches.
• Our Home Ground is Gavenlock Oval in Narara, otherwise known as the Dragon's Den.
• The seaon's games run from April till August each year.
• Training is held on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday afternoons. When training is held is dependent on your Team's Coach's availability. 

 

We are a Grass Roots sporting Club run by volunteers. All our teams have a Coach and a Manager, these roles are filled by parent/family volunteers from the team. No experience is necessary and the Club provides information and training on how to do these roles. 

For those wanting to play with friends and create their own team these are the numbers of players that are required:

 

Team Age Group	Players on field	Max players in team
Under 8 & 9 years	7	No maximum, but we recommend having 2 -3 subs = team of 9-10 players
Under 10 & 11 years	9	13
