Grading

Grading occurs in under 12 upwards for any age group where there is more than 1 team (so not all age groups are graded)

Grading training/games are necessary for kids wishing to be considered for higher ranked teams and are welcome to attend as many as they like. We have 1 grading game date available and It is advised for all kids participating in grading to attend the game. 

Things to know:

  • Footy boots are worn for grading training and games. Mouthguard needed for games.

  • Sessions will proceed in all weather conditions, except thunderstorms.

  • Attendance will be taken at each session and kids can simply turn up to 1 or more of the training sessions available. It is advised all graded kids attend the game session.

  • Wayne Oswald (Director of Coaching) is overseeing ALL graded sessions with his selected coaching team.

  • Grading training will be at Auburn High School, unless we are able to secure a football oval during this time. Green space is at maximum capacity with cricket and football pre-season crossing over, but we will update you if any change.

  • The grading game venue is NOT confirmed as yet. We will update you when it is.

  • If your child is keen to be graded but unable to make any of the sessions, please reach out to us: ben.schauder@prahranjfc.com.au 

  • If your child chooses not to be graded, which is fine, they will be placed in the lower division team automatically.
