Our football program balances development, enjoyment and competition.

Playing Philosophy

In younger age groups, the focus is on participation, fun and learning. As players progress, competition increases — but never at the expense of club values.

Grading

From Under 13 onwards, players may choose to participate in a grading process. Players who opt in attend training/trials and may be selected into the club’s highest graded team (“Red” team). Other players are placed into teams based on participation, friendships and development needs. The grading process is designed to:

• Provide equal opportunity
• Minimise bias through independent assessment
• Ensure teams are competitive and balanced
• Support long-term player development

Team Formation

Teams are formed based on:

• Age group
• Skill and development level
• Team balance and competitiveness

Playing Time

All players who train regularly are provided with fair and meaningful game time.
