Holroyd Hotshots Grading Procedures
The grading of players and teams is conducted fairly based on a player’s ability, skill level and
attitude. Grading is influenced by the number and ages of players registered with Hotshots with the
aim of achieving teams that have a balanced group of players both in ability levels and playing
positions.
Our Junior Inter teams are graded according to level of ability for the PANA Junior and Inter junior
competition. Similarly, Senior players are also graded into specific Divisions based on ability. A
player may be selected for an older age team if considered necessary due to numbers by the grading
committee and after discussion with the player and player’s parent/guardian.
NetSetGO program! (5 to 7 years): no grading required.
NetSetGO modified games (8 to 9 years): may be required to be graded depending on numbers,
otherwise they will form teams in their specific age group. Players will be placed in teams with their
friends where possible . These requests must be received at the time of registration and will only be
accommodated if numbers permit.
10 yrs to 15 yrs: Players will be graded into teams as per the PANA Junior Inter competition
according to their ability. This will ensure that players are playing at an appropriate skill level.
Senior Players, 16yrs+: Players will be graded into teams as per the PANA Senior competition
according to their ability. Hotshots will consider requests for team registrations, however these
teams are expected to follow and carry out the Club duties as directed from time to time.
Team announcement
Ideally, eight (8) will be selected per team however, due to numbers, some teams may have nine (9)
players. Teams will be announced at the Hotshots Information Night and via our website.
