Grading aims to form teams in an age group that have a balanced group of players with comparable skills and similar abilities across all playing positions. There are many aspects taken into consideration, such as player experience, ability, fitness, attitude, and playing positions.

Team selections are based on the player’s performance at the trials, together with the coach’s feedback from the last season

NetSetGo (7 to 9 years) NO GRADING– this is non-competitive, so players are evenly grouped into teams based on overall numbers, age, and team requests – with no practical selection.

10 years to 14 years – YES, COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE AT PRACTICAL GRADING DAYS.

15 years to Intermediates –

If a player is unable to attend grading, please email the club to outline the reason for non-attendance and your expectations regarding grading.

For example, outline if you think the player can play in the top two teams in the age group, or if you are happy to be graded into a similar team as last year.

If you attend Grading and are not selected in the ‘Top graded teams’ you will not be automatically placed into the next team. You will be placed back into the pool of players in your age group and placed in a team based on previous years’ information and coaches’ feedback.

Yes. A player may request to play in a higher age group; however, the final decision to do so will be made by the Grading Committee and Registrar based on team numbers.

Click the box “Play in a higher group” on the registration form.

On occasions, players may be requested by the Club to play in a higher age group. This will only occur when the required team numbers are not met.

Juniors (10, 11,12 & 13 years) – No, you cannot request to play with friends. As a result of the grading process, if you and your friends have similar skills and abilities, you may be placed in the same team.

Juniors (14 & 15 years) – No, you cannot request to play with your friends. The ‘Top graded teams’ in each age will be selected as a result of Grading; the remaining teams will be selected for those players who choose not to Grade

NetSetGO,  Intermediates, and  Seniors – Yes. Make an appropriate note in the “Team Request” field on the online Registration Form.

Junior Teams ( 10, 11, 12 & 13 years ) – No. Teams will be selected based on grading, and players will be placed in teams with similar skills, abilities, and coaches’ feedback
