How are teams selected?

How it works

Each age level has an age group coordinator assigned. The coordinator will watch games throughout the season and liaise with coaches for feedback on the players. They then work to place the children into the teams where they feel they fit the best.
Every effort is put into making sure the children are placed in the team that is right for them. 

 

When does my child move up?

The age group that your child is placed in depends on their age at the cut off date. For the Winter season that is 30th June and for Summer it is 31 Dec.
 

What about special requests?

Occasionally, some families have special requests. It maybe to stay with a friend, to train or play on a certain day or to move up a grade. While we try to grant as many of these requests where possible, it is important to remember team selection will be based on skills first and therefore it is not possible to grant every request that comes in.
