Grading for our 2027 junior teams is on Sunday 15 and Sunday 22 November at Rozelle Parklands. It’s free, it’s open to Under 8 through Under 13, and it covers both mixed and girls teams.
Grading is how we pick the top two teams in each age group. Everything below that is built around friendship groups, playing the same competition on the same days at the same grounds – so grading is worth coming to if your child wants a shot at a top division side, and entirely skippable if they don’t. It has no bearing on whether they get a place at the club.
You don’t need to be registered for 2027 to come along. Registration opens in early January, well after grading. Turning up in November doesn’t commit you to anything.
Session times
Same schedule both Sundays. Mixed and girls sessions run side by side on two pitches.
| Time | Mixed | Girls |
|---|---|---|
| 9:00 – 9:50 | Under 8 | Under 8 Girls* |
| 10:00 – 10:50 | Under 9 | Under 9 Girls* |
| 11:00 – 11:50 | Under 10 | Under 10 Girls* |
| 12:00 – 12:50 | Under 11 | Under 11 Girls |
| 13:00 – 13:50 | Under 12 | Under 12 Girls* |
| 14:00 – 14:50 | Under 13 | Under 13 Girls |
* Runs if there are enough players. We’ll confirm which girls sessions are going ahead closer to the date. If one doesn’t run, your daughter is welcome in the mixed session for her age group instead.
Please arrive 15 minutes early for sign-in, and bring boots, shin pads and a full water bottle.
Coming along
Register first: Complete the grading form
Come to both Sundays if you can. One session is usually not enough, and two give us a much fairer picture – children often play very differently at a second session.
Players need to attend to be graded. If your child can’t make either date, get in touch before the day.
