PLAYER ALLOCATIONS & GRADING 2017

/

SSFC would like to bring to your attention the player allocation and grading process:

Grading is carried out by a grading committee comprising of experienced representative coaches (who have played at Premier League level) and senior SSFC committee members who collectively have many years of coaching experience.

  • For unbiasedness, no parent coaches will be involved in this process.
  • At the conclusion of the grading session, the grading committee will run through a thorough scoring (grading) system before a player is allocated into a grade. We expect to finalise initial teams and gradings approx 1 week after this session and you will be contacted after this point by your team coach.
  • Please note that further re-grading of players may occur during trial games held in March, where the grading committee will observe players in real game scenarios.
  • The grading committee will take into account real game situations that the players will be put through, as well as any nervousness that the player may have had during the grading process.
  • It is the grading committee’s ambition to ensure players are graded according to their overall football capability, so that they can have a positive football experience during the year, and grow as a player and a person overall.
  • It is also our intention to ensure non-comp players and teams are put in correct association levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced) for their overall development and enjoyment. This will be discussed at the team allocation nights.
  • Good Luck to all and may you enjoy your football in 2015.

Team allocations & grading days will be held at Claydon Reserve, The Promenade, Sans Souci

Please ensure you arrive 15 minutes before your time slot. Players need to be ready with their full playing gear including shin pads.

PLEASE NOTE: Parental involvement as coach/manager co-ordination of teams (especially non-competition Under 6 to under 11’s) is mandatory for teams to be formed. This will require 2 parents to become Registered Team Officials (RTOs) to form a team.
