Narangba United FC – Junior Competitive Team Grading Process
Narangba United Football Club will be carrying out team grading for this Season as to enable
us to nominate teams into Football Brisbane’s competitions for the 2017 season.
Why are we grading players??
The primary reason for our Club wishing to grade players is to identify individuals of
differing skill levels and encourage them to play in a challenging but enjoyable environment,
and to enhance and encourage their football development.
This means that young players are playing in an environment that is intellectually and
physically stimulating through education and competition.
But we also remember that the player's enjoyment playing football comes first above all
else.
Our Guidelines:
To ensure that all players being graded are given equal time.
We fully accept that players will want to play with their friends, however the 5 year plan in
place for Narangba United FC to be at a SYL level a high priority.
A Player(s) who do not attend the Trial for their particular age group will Not be considered
for the highest ranked team, unless our Club are notified prior to the trial. In this event a
players(s) may have another trial session arranged.
Who carries out the grading sessions?
Team grading will be carried out by our group of Technical Directors, having a group of
experienced coaches allows for a majority rules for final decisions.
Grading criteria:
Players will be graded whilst carrying out the 4 Core Skills of the FFA National Curriculum:
1. Striking the ball
2. First touch
3. 1 v 1
4. Running with the ball
These four skills are the most important factors in determining a young player's ability level.
