Grading Schedule 2012

Saturday, 11 February 2012 14:17

Our apologies for the late distribution of the grading schedule, but with 2 short weeks and a hectic work schedule I have been short on time.

Please see download (click here) and also the note below.

Pete Jones has put in a considerable effort and I feel the way it has been planned is the best yet, as you can see we will have co-ordinators for every grade to help guide you all along.

Look forward to seeing you all there on Monday, any questions please don't hesitate in contact Pete or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Note from Pete Jones regarding Grading

Have a read and let me know if you have any questions. The necessary gear will need to be moved up from Te Puru and the fields would need to be set up in advance. Also you will need the people in charge of each grade on the night sorting in advance - Phil 8th Brian 9th Pom 10th Tim 11th Phil 12th Brian 13th Maylene 14/15 girls James 14/15 boys? as well as the coaches to observe each pitch. You could fill in the gaps with any willing first team players?

The NZ Football player assessment (click here) is what they are using to assess players at trials. It may be a bit advanced for many but a least everyone would be scoring players from the same criteria and coaches particularly of the stronger teams need to get familiar with these core skills and talk about them and work on them when training their players. We could simplify it if required?

The plan is for the best 8th grade players to go up and play in 9th grade. I think when you do the final grading session the top 8th graders should be mixed in with the 9th grade so they get placed in the right level team. Remember other players in other grades can play up if required and I think 2 per team can play down.

Cheers,

Pete
