GRADING NOTICE
PAPAKURA FOOTBALL
2012 SEASON
Only Registered Players can attend grading.
While attendance at grading is not compulsory, as a club we encourage all players to grade each year.
Only by grading will players be placed in teams with players of like ability and therefore teams will be placed into divisions which all players should be able to handle.
People who wish to know more about grading are advised to read the Player information document which is on our website.
Grading is from the 9th Grade and up.

Each training session will normally go for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Players should be prepared to trial to their utmost. Players will be picked (normally) on the ability they show at grading (8th grade and new players to the club - this is the only way it can be done).
