5th Feb 2021 XXX NOTE NEW DATES/TIMES FOR U08’s XXX (all other age group times are unchanged)
Prior to the season starting we hold grading days and all players are requested to attend. The ideal objective is to place children into a team with players at a similar skill level to themselves.
We updated our approach to grading last year. Our philosophy is one where we aim to appropriately grade players so they have the potential to:-
- Enjoy their soccer
- Develop their skill and ability
- Play with team members of similar skill and ability
- Perform competitively in relative age / grade.
Please refer to the grading policy document found here.
