Team Selections & Player Assessments

In order to make the best placements possible we have developed 3 mechanisms for feedback:

  • Pre-season training - each team will have at least 2 pre-season training sessions this year. Players are encouraged to attend the practices of the team that you would like to play for. You are welcome to attend more than one team’s practice if you would like to get an idea of what other teams are doing. Pre-season training schedule can be found below.
  • Your feedback - we want to know where you would like to play, and why! To give us this feedback please fill out this form: self-assessment form
  • Coach feedback - we will be asking your previous coaches (if applicable) for brief feedback

We will use a combination of all 3 of these to place you in teams, focusing on 2 criteria - skill level and social fit. There will likely be opportunities for those who want to play up into a higher team, and for training up also, at the discretion of the coaches.

We recognise that even with these 3 channels available not everyone may get their desired team fit, and we encourage you to reach out to us if you have any questions about the process and how the decisions have been reached.
