Team Formation Process
1 — In the younger teams, the players play with their mates, this is the core ideal that forms the teams from Under 8s to Under 11s.
• A balance needs to be achieved to ensure that the final team is not made up of players from one single school – this is designed to promote interactions with children from the broader community.
• Where two or more sides are formed in the same age group, the composition of the teams will be selected before the commencement of games by the Age Group Co-Ordinator & Coaches to form teams with equal numbers, where possible.
2 — Introduce squad training to facilitate expanding the “team feeling” across multiple teams in an age group and developing a club culture.
3 — Players will be allocated to teams by Age Group Coordinators and final player allocations will be reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee.
4 — Target of having 22 players per team.
5 — Any exceptions to be reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee.
6 — Previously registered players have preference over new players to the club.
7 — All players must be registered correctly in their age group.
8 — All players should play in their correct age groups except in exceptional circumstances:
• E.g. Insufficient numbers in the older age group.
• To enable an even balance of players in all teams.
• Where Coaches agree that development of a player would be enhanced by playing in an older age group and the player is capable of playing at that level.
• Playing in a higher age group will require the approval of the Executive Committee
Grading
1 — No grading of players in the formative years from U8 to U11.
2 — Hard Grading and Movement of players at U12 Mixed and above.
3 — Teams are graded according to an internal assessment by Football Operations, Age Group Coordinators, year level Coaches and the Committee.
4 — Final Teams will be reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee.
