TEAM SELECTION PROCESS
Team Selection: U8 to U12
No formal grading processes will be in place. An emphasis is placed on participation and enjoyment with friendship and school groups. Additional goals are the acquisition of football skills and playing in a team environment.
Grading: U13 to Colts
A greater emphasis is placed upon individual and team performances in these age levels. Whilst one team may have a more advanced list of players, the Club will aim that all teams will be as competitive as possible in their respective divisions. The club will endeavour to organise players into appropriate teams to provide an environment in which players can be both competitive and continue to develop their football skills. More information can be found contained in our Grading Policy located on our website.

Information session for players and parents from under 13 and above will be conducted at the start of each season to clarify both the HJFC Grading Policy and Grading Process where there will be two teams.
PARENT PARTICIPATION
I understand that all parents will, at times, need to be included on match day helper roster, duties may include tasks such Goal Umpire, Timekeeper, Boundary Umpire and Snakes/Lollies and we agree to be an active volunteer for such roles when required.
