As a club we would like to provide opportunities for all girls, those who wish to achieve results and for those who are happy to participate and develop socially in a team environment. NWSWF association are now providing 2 competitions per age groups and we intend to use this framework to provide opportunities for all players.
To this end, we propose in 2009 to support the 2 competitions per age group in the following manner.
• One team with a focus on results, development, commitment, participation and social enjoyment the other
• A focus on participation, development and social enjoyment.
Age groups that will be considered are U11 through to U16 how ever U12, U14 & U16 will be the primary focus. I am hopeful that there will be sufficient interest in those age groups.
U9 & U10 Age Groups who still play on ¾ field are still considered social and in a skill development period therefore the grading of this age groups will not occur, however I would like any input by coaches and parents relating to returning players and new recruits for the 2009 season. If there is sufficient interest then we shall consider the option to evaluate the girls who are interested.
U8 age groups. There may be players that may benefit moving up an age group. Consideration will be given based on parent & coaches input.
We understand the 2008 small fields were very frustrating for the children who participated this season 2008. We have evaluated the situation and would encourage any children with developed ball skills, awareness of positioning and who are physically capable to move to the U9. We will look to the coaches and parents to recommend if whole team or individual players should move.
I would also like to stress this proposal is for the development of the girls and their needs and this must come first. The evaluation will only be for girls who wish to be evaluated and would appreciate the support of all coaches with a view to the bigger picture.
The girls that seeking a focus on results, development, commitment as a primary objective will have an opportunity to undergo evaluation in October. We will circulating nomination as soon as venue and dates are confirmed typically this will be Sundays in mid to late October 2008. They will run in parallel with Raven’s Women’s Super League evaluations.
