Unable to attend Grading (sick, injured, or other)

If you cannot attend any of the grading sessions, you will need to inform the Club beforehand in writing via email to grading@castlehillunitedfc.com.au or ladies@castlehillunitedfc.com.au.

Players who do not attend grading are likely to be assigned to the lowest-graded team for their age group in the first instance.

If a player is feeling ill or has any injury that may affect their grading performance, this information must be communicated to the relevant group Age Grader prior to the grading session.

Grading Notes

1. All players from age groups 8 to 18 must attend grading and are individually graded.
2. Players can play in the age group they turn in the current calendar year or up to two age groups higher. This decision is at the Grading Manager’s discretion.
3. A player can only grade in one age group, which will be the age group they have registered for.
4. Friends who wish to play together in one team (known as “Playing with friends”) must notify the club Grading Manager via email – grading@castlehillunitedfc.com.au at least 24 hours prior to the first grading date for the applicable age group. All friends and parents must agree; however, the final decision is at the Grading Manager’s discretion.
5. Playing with friends is also contingent on the club’s grading policy which can be found on the club website at castlehillfootball.com.au.
6. Players are graded individually based on their performance during grading, and when required, the player evaluation sheet from the previous season (if available).
7. Teams will generally have between 11 and 16 players for full competition team’s dependent on numbers in each age group.
8. Teams are by no means final at the end of grading – due to sometimes unavoidable player movements after grading, further fine-tuning and changes to teams may occur after grading.
9. Please note that although the Club recommends specific grades when registering each team with Hills Football, we do not make the final decision regarding the level or division at which each team ultimately plays – Hills Football association has the final say.

If you are not happy with the individual player grading result, appeals on grading must be sent in writing via email within 7 days of grading to the Club President at president@castlehillunitedfc.com.au The Grading Committee will assess the appeal. Their decision is final.
