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. Both options are available to you, but are accessed when registering.

After turning 18 girls move into the All Age womens competition.

HOW WE CREATE TEAMS

All teams are placed in a grade of competition offered by Central Coast Football- from A - D grade for mixed, and A & B for Girls comp.

NEW PLAYERS TO GOSFORD AND EXISTING PLAYERS WANTING TO GRADE UP ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND GRADING DAYS TO ASSESS PLAYERS FOR THEIR BEST SUITED TEAM TO PLAY IN.
GRADING WILL BE HELD MONDAYS IN FEBRUARY (DATES TO BE CONFIRMED)

A/B Grade competitive teams- these teams are created based on individual skill level, all players must attend grading days if requested to be graded into these teams. Friend requests are not accepted for these teams.

C/D Grade social teams- players wishing to prioritise playing with friends and may be different levels of skill are able to do so in the C/D graded teams.

These are the numbers of players that are required:

Team Age Group	Players on field	Max players in team
Under 12-18 years	11	16

Teams must be submitted to Central Coast Football for inclusion in the competition at the start of March. Registrations can be accepted after that date but only where we have an available spot in a team. We encourage those wanting to invite friends to play to do so early to ensure they don’t miss out.

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!
