TEAM ALLOCATIONS | GRADING

As a community football club we recognise the importance of participants wanting to play with their friends. We do not grade our teams however in some instances if there is an age group that does not accept the clubs final team allocation, then a grading night may be required to finalise the team.

Our process for team allocations where possible is as follows:

• Keep returning teams together where possible with minimal change
• Where a team requires additional players, new players are added based on individual requests 
• Senior teams are generally pre-organised by the team manager and any request from new players to join an exisiting senior team will be sent to the team manager for review/approval

NOTE: The Club will do our best to meet all team/participant requests where possible. If no team request information is supplied players will be allocated as required to fill teams. 

 

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF PLAYERS

Following the final registration information day (6th February) if there are any age groups that do not meet the required minimum number of players to nominate a team, the club will assess the situation and then proceed as follows:

1. Contact Newcastle Football to follow up potential players left over from other clubs
2. Advertise through the local schools
3. Advertise on our website, Facebook page, and if required the local newspaper
4. In some instances, if there are players from a lower age group that want to play up an age group then this option will be investigated also

If the club still can’t meet the minimum number of players required or has any reservations that an age group may have difficulties fielding a team for the season, the Club will make direct contact with each of the players that have registered in that age group and offer them a refund. This will be done as early as possible to allow these players the option of looking to alternate clubs.

 

OUR COACHES

Our Coaches and Managers are volunteers.  All our teams may have up to a maximum of three volunteers (Coach/Assistant Coach and Manager) prior to the start of the season.

ALL NEW Coaches/Managers will be required to complete a “Working with Children Check” and ALL volunteer Coaches/Managers will be required to register online at www.playfootball.com.au 

IF THE CLUB DOES NOT RECEIVE THIS INFORMATION OR REGISTRATION ONLINE, A VOLUNTEER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO VOLUNTEER WITHIN THE CLUB/TEAM

Volunteers interested in Coaching or Managing will have an opportunity to register for a team role on the Muster Days or by sending an email to the Club southysoccer@gmail.com

 

TRAINING

The Clubs winter season licence begins on 1st April 2025 and any use of the grounds prior to this date the Club must make special application for use.

The season does not start until the end of April therefore all MiniRoos, Interdistrict and senior O35s teams will not permitted to start training on the fields until a date is confirmed by the club.

Teams will have an opportunity to provide their training day/time preferences on Muster Night and once allocations are completed the Club will notify coaches and managers of their allocated day/time/field space and start date.
