Rules for Team Selection and Composition

Rules for Team Selection and Composition

The Club Philosophy

The club Philosophy doesn’t support grading teams at the younger age groups of under 8’s to under 11’s. Grading only commences when the teams starts to play for points, which is the under 12’s league and upwards. In some instances it will be necessary for the club to grade players according to their ability; this is for the benefit of the players and allows them to compete against teams / players of similar abilities. In the case of Under 8 to 11 squads this would only happen with the endorsement of all parents, players, and the Committee.

Junior Divisions

In junior divisions (Under 12 to Under 18 squads), playing time will progressively be based on ability, fitness, game / training performance and team strategy.

Player Registrations

If player registrations exceed the “4 reserve maximum” in an age group, a composite team may be formed. If required, a panel including the team coach, the club’s head coach, coaching director and committee members will select each squad.

Sub Junior Grades

In the sub junior grades (Under 6 through to Under 11 squads) players will be rotated as equally as possible during games. This will be decided by the coach at his/her discretion.

Team Compositions

Team compositions may be adjusted during the season on occasions to accommodate abilities, injuries or withdrawals. Your child may be selected to play in a team different from his/her friend.

Beeliar Spirit

Beeliar Spirit will endeavour to field teams with a maximum of 4 reserve players to ensure that all players receive sufficient game time.

Beeliar Spirit

Where it is not possible to fit all registered players in an age based or composite team, registrations will be declined in the following order;

a. Registrations received after the last advertised registration date.
b. Players with registration fees that have not been paid by the final grading day (and at the discretion of the Committee in the event of financial hardship).
c. Based on previous attendance at training sessions, grading days and participation in the club’s activities (such as training teams, skills clinics etc).
