Team Allocation Junior Grades (Under 9 & Younger)

Our Commitment

​We believe that junior sport should be safe, enjoyable, inclusive and maximise individual participation. Our club acknowledges that positive experiences in junior competition will contribute to children developing a lifelong love of sport.
​

What we will do

  • Emphasise to coaches and parents that junior sport is about participation, not competition.  
  • Try to match junior players with others of their own ability in accordance with the club’s team allocation procedure.
  • Provide junior players with a broad range of experiences (e.g. participating in different positions)
  • Provide equal playing time for all juniors, regardless of their ability
  • Ensure that all team members play in the finals where that team has qualified.

What we ask you to do

Coaches
  • Focus on promoting participation, not winning and losing
  • Ensure all team members have the chance to play, rotate through positions and receive equal playing time.
  • If you coach your own children, treat them like all other team members (e.g. rotations, playing time or participation)

Parents
  • Help out the coach where possible at training and games
  • Focus on your child’s effort and performance, not the score
  • Encourage your child and other team members
  • Respect the selection decisions of the coach.
