CREATING TEAMS:

Player's can choose to play with friends or last seasons team mates if they wish, or we can place your child with players from the same school if you want. If you would like to be placed with a specific player or 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.

There are benefits of playing with those at the same skill level, and we can provide this opportunity for your child if you attend a PLAY DAY where we have games for the kids so we can see them in action. Dates for this to be advised, it will be in February- please ensure you join Stack App for best club communications (how to below). There is no strict grading for this age group, but there are some broader levels available as players progess to under 7 years (eg beginner, intermediate, advanced). 

 

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.

GIRLS @ GOSFORD 

We encourage girls to join our all girls teams, we are seeing huge benefits for our girls playing in the all girls competitions - but it is the individual players choice if they wish to play in the all girls competion or the mixed competition (boy & girls). We will support our players whatever they choose. There is an all girls under 6 and under 7 competition, under 6 years is available as a combined age group of both under 5 and under 6 players.

Both options of all girls or mixed team are available to you when registering.

 

COACHES & MANAGERS

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 5-7 years	4	No maximum, but we recommend having 2 subs = team of 6 players

 

 

PLEASE NOTE- FOR PLAYERS WANTING TO PLAY UP AN AGE GROUP:

All requests to play in a different age group than your child’s birth year age group need to be made to your relevant Football Manager. The club must assess each request individually to ensure player safety and fairness to all our teams. We will wherever possible accommodate requests. Players wanting to play up in a team in under 9’s and over must attend grading- for both their actual age group and the age group they want 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!

Below is a quick how to join us on Stack Team App, you can also add it on your phone via the App Store.
