Age Groups and Grading

Due to limited field space, we will have to limit the number of teams. As a result of these limitations, a “first in best dressed” basis will apply with numbers. If you are unable to attend on the above dates, please contact our Junior Directors (juniors@mtgravatthawks.org) and get your name on the list for your age group for 2021. Please ensure that you give the correct age group as an error can lead to a lot of heartache. Club policy requires that all players play in their correct age group. Please note that this policy will be strictly applied to in 2021 and there will be no relaxation of this policy. AGE GROUPS Under 3-5 Hatchlings (born 2016-2018) Under 5-7 Fledglings (born 2014-2016) Under 7-8 Fledglings (born 2013-2014) Under 4-7 Girls Only Fledglings (born 2014-2017) Under 8 MiniRoos (born 2013) Under 9 MiniRoos (born 2012) Under 10 MiniRoos (born 2011) Under 11 MiniRoos (born 2010) Under 12 Juniors (born 2009) Under 13 Juniors (born 2008) Under 14 Juniors (born 2007) Under 15 Juniors (born 2006) Under 16 Juniors (born 2005) Under 8 Girls (born 2013-2014) Under 10 Girls (born 2011-2012) Under 12 Girls (born 2009-2010) Under 14 Girls (born 2007-2008) Under 16 Girls (born 2005-2006) It is Club Policy that all players in Divisional (Under 12-16) teams be graded. This ensures that players are playing at a level appropriate to their skill level which should ensure that they get maximum enjoyment from their football. Grading is determined by nominated officials and includes the coach for the highest graded team in that age group. The club's decision on grading is final. Under 9’s, 10’s and 11’s can nominate if they are interested in playing in an MiniRoos Komodo team within their age groups. The Komodo players are to have average to above average football skills as matches are usually played with a high skill level. These teams will not be determined based on “playing with your mates” and may require a final selection process if player numbers accommodate.

MiniRoos (U8-U11)

MiniRoos (U8-U11) Program

Mini Roos program by Football Federation Australia (FFA) is a modified form of the world game and is specifically designed to increase player participation and enjoyment. Smaller teams (and field size) actually increase the number of touches on the ball. It's more fun!!. U8 and 9 play 7v7 on a 1/4 park and U10 and U11 play 9v9 on a 1/2 size field. For more information on the FFA's MiniRoos Program click [ HERE] NOTE: PLAYERS BORN 2010-2012 (UNDER 9, 10 AND 11) Football Brisbane has introduced a “soft grading” model for these age groups. Clubs are offered the opportunity to group experienced players (with average to above average skills) together and nominate teams in the Komodo hub. This allows players of similar abilities to play in the same team and against teams of similar abilities. This season in Under 9’s, 10’s and 11’s we are giving players the opportunity to nominate if they are interested in playing in a Komodo team within their age groups. These teams will not be determined based on “playing with your mates” and may require a final selection process if player numbers accommodate this. For more information relating to the Komodo grading and nomination process, please contact juniors@mtgravatthawks.org
