Team Selections & Player Assessments

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

  • 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

  • In-game observation - we will be running a couple of evenings in August of small-sided games at which independent coaches will be on hand to provide 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.

August Small-Sided Games

These are an opportunity to get together before the season starts, play some fun small-sided games and, if you would like, have the coaches take a look at your play in order to help in the team placement process. The schedule is as follows:
