Essential Information for Junior Grading
Our Grading Technical Team will endeavour to get the best result for each player that attends the Bangor FC grading.
This is a difficult task, made more difficult when players do not turn up to grading days. If your son/daughter is unable to make these dates it is important that you let the Technical Team (technical.director@bangorbrumbies.org.au) know beforehand.
Grading Day Requirements
- Players must be registered with Bangor FC in order to participate on grading days
- Shin pads must be worn at all times during grading
- Girls may play in mixed teams up to and including U12
- Bring a drink bottle, sunscreen and a hat on grading day
- Please turn up on time for the age group you are grading for
- For U8’s and above, teams will be selected based upon the matching of players’ abilities, although extenuating circumstances will be considered.
- Players not attending may be excluded from teams unless the Technical Team has been advised beforehand
- If there is any information that is relevant to the grading process please let the Technical Team know this prior to the grading date.
Whilst the club has a policy of attempting to meet requests to play with friends for U6 and U7, no absolute guarantees can be given as individual players’ abilities must be taken into consideration.
The Club’s experience is that children will enjoy their football more if they play in a grade that is aligned with their ability. No one wins if a child is under or over-graded.
Playing up one year older?
Please let the Technical Team know on grading days if your son or daughter intend to grade in a one year older age group.
If the Technical Team has not been advised then the player will remain in his or her correct age for grading.
It should be noted that there are physical risks of playing up an age year and that the final decision will be at the discretion of the Technical Team.
U18 and above and Senior teams (Women’s and Men’s)
There will be no grading or meeting of teams in these age groups.
Coaches or Managers of the U18 and above, as well as senior teams, will need to email the Technical team at technical.director@bangorbrumbies.org.au by the 16th of February 2022 with the following information:
- List of players in the MS Excel team list. Please include first and last names with FFA numbers.
- The coach’s and manager’s names and contact details.
- Preferred training night and time.
- Please include any grading requests as well for the new season.
Trial Games
Trial games will be arranged just before the season commences. It is possible that not all teams will get a trial game, however, all efforts will be made to get at least one trial match for all teams.
Under NO circumstances are trial games to be organised without going through Bangor FC Committee.
Coaches and Managers will be informed as to any games that have been arranged for their teams.
