To be eligible to play for the top 2 teams at Marsden Park come join us at Elara Oval based on the relevant age group for your child. We select the teams based on a number of drills the coaches will put the kids through to assess their skills. If your child does not make it into those teams we have many teams across each age group that they will be allocated too.
Grading is a process used to group children of similar skill levels to play for the same team and compete against similar skilled teams. It allows for teams to play competitively, evenly and more importantly for players to enjoy and grow in the sport. Grading is a requirement from BDSFA for teams at the U8 to U15 age groups. The club only grades players for the top two teams. For more information head to this page https://marsdenparkfc.com.au/grading-2/
