CREATING TEAMS 8 YEARS

Player's can choose to play with friends or last seasons team mates if they wish, or we can place your child with players from the same school if you want. If you would like to be placed with a specific player or team, please include this information in the provided comment section of your player information form, so your child can be allocated into that team. We will endeavour to keep teams together if you wish.

There is no strict grading for this age group, but there are some broader levels available as players progress to under 8 years (eg beginner, intermediate, advanced).

ADVANCED TEAMS- for players wanting to play at the highest level in the advanced teams, these teams will be determined by player grading sessions.

CREATING TEAMS 9-11 YEARS:

Players choose their priority to either play socially or to be graded into a team.

SOCIAL TEAM PLACEMENT: this means your priority is to be with specific friends, and both friends need to make this preferance. You can even make your own team if you collect enough players. Social teams are for C/D levels of competition- for those wanting to play at a higher level of compeition (A/B graded) you must attend Grading.

GRADED TEAM PLACEMENT: This is for our higher level A/B graded teams, players must attend Grading where reequested to be assessed and teams will be formed based on the grading. Friend requests can not be made to enter these teams.

We encourage girls to join our all girls teams, we are seeing huge benefits for our girls playing in the all girls competitions - but it is the individual players choice if they wish to play in the all girls competion or the mixed competition (boy & girls). We will support our players whatever they choose. There is an all girls under 9, under 10 and under 11 competition, under 9 years is available as a combined age group of both under 8 and under 9 years players.

Both options of all girls or mixed team are available to you when registering.

COACHES & MANAGERS

We are a Grass Roots sporting Club run by volunteers. All our teams have a Coach and a Manager, these roles are filled by parent/family volunteers from the team. No experience is necessary and the Club provides information and training on how to do these roles.

PLEASE NOTE- FOR PLAYERS WANTING TO PLAY UP AN AGE GROUP:

All requests to play in a different age group than your child’s birth year age group need to be made to your relevant Football Manager. The club must assess each request individually to ensure player safety and fairness to all our teams. We will wherever possible accommodate requests. Players wanting to play up in a team in under 9’s and over must attend grading- for both their actual age group and the age group they want to play in.

CLUB COMMUNICATIONS DURING THE SEASON:

Our club communications are sent out from 'Stack Team App', this is an app which is free for our club to use- which offers us many features and means our messages can get directly to you. We're asking that all parents of players and players please download this app to ensure that you are aware of what is happening this season.

We are also active on social media, both Facebook and Instagram, but these are more community based rather than internal club information so it is necessary to be on the 'Stack Team App' so you get everything relevant to you. We do hope to see you on our social media too though!
