2020 Registration Fees
Normanhurst Eagles Football Club (the Club) values strong family ties and provides opportunities for its members to play and develop their football skills in a competitive and supportive team environment and underpinned by fair play and sportsmanship principles. The Club strives to ensure that all players are treated fairly in a team-friendly environment. Grading is used by the Club to allocate players to appropriate teams and is designed to maximise each player’s enjoyment of football by providing an appropriate level of competitive and/or social football.
Players in the Under 6 and 7 age groups are not graded individually. These players are allocated to teams based on schools attended and friendships requests, subject to overall team number limitations.
Parents of Under 8 players may elect to have their child graded individually for the top team(s). Under 8 players not selected for the top team(s) and all other Under 8 players will be allocated to teams based on schools attended and friendships etc.
Players in Under 9 to Under 17 will be individually graded where there are sufficient numbers of players in that Age Group to form two or more teams.
The Committee, upon considering experience, friendships, family and/or individual request, will allocate players in the Under 18-21, All Age and Over 35 Age Groups to teams. All players are required to play in their correct Age Group, except where the Executive Committee deems that a player playing in a higher Age Group is in the Club’s interest.

GRADING DAY INFORMATION
- Players must be registered in order to be graded.
- Please ensure you attend the grading days for your actual age E.g. If you are turning (or have turned) 10 this year, your actual age is Under 10. You are also welcome to request to grade in an older age group once your age group grading has been completed. Please contact your age coordinator if you are interested in playing up an age group.
- Please ensure you arrive 15 minutes prior to your age groups times lot and make sure you have a water bottle and sunscreen applied. Shin pads and trainers only to be worn (No Football boots).
- Each age-group will have multiple graders who have been sourced from age groups other than that of their own child and are experienced coaches, or are T3 coaches. The graders will not be coaching any children during the session and will be concentrating on assessing the children correctly. Coaches comments and feedback from 2019 will be taken into consideration. In order to allow the graders to asses all players fairly we ask that parents remain away from the field of play.
- U8: The U8 competition is not graded in the NWSF competition, however each year we provide for one U8 Blue Side to play against similarly skilled sides in the competition. U8 players can try out for our Blue team, however grading for U8 players is not compulsory. A team will only be placed in this competition if there are enough players to make a competitive side.
- U15-U16: Grading for the U15 and U16 age groups will be dependent upon the number of registered players and whether we will be forming more than one team in each age group. This will be advised closer to the date of grading.
- For further information and the NEFC Grading Policy about how players are allocated to graded teams see here.
- If you cannot attend grading, please ensure you have let the age coordinator know. Contact details re on the Normo Eagles Website.
