The following criteria are what our coaches abide by when selecting players in each junior age group stream and they have the full support of the Committee.
The Club has a strong desire to remain in the Division 1 group of teams in the EDFL. There are 24 clubs in the EDFL. At present there are 8 clubs in the Junior Division 1 competition, 8 clubs in Division 2 and 8 clubs in Division 3.
This means we must endeavour to be as competitive as possible in every Division 1 age group (from Under 10’s to Under 16’s) and strive for success.
Where ever possible consider the family needs when there are siblings involved to ensure they play at the same ground that Sunday.
Always ensure that the boys play in the age group stream best suited for their skills and ability.
Player behaviour:
The Club insists that all players behave appropriately when dealing with Club officials, the community at large and in particular with each other when training, playing and representing the Greenvale Football Club.
All players should refrain from swearing at all times around teammates, opponents and officials. Use of foul language is not acceptable on or off the ground when representing the Greenvale Football Club.
Fighting and instigating aggressive behaviour on team mates, opponents and officials is totally un-acceptable behaviour. All players will be disciplined if they do so.
Parent behaviour:
Always encourage your child.
Never instigate personal abuse towards players or officials of any team.
If you have an issue with a Club official refrain from making a scene or flying off the handle in front of children and parents. Approach the Club official after the game or at the appropriate time to discuss
your concerns. If you do not adhere to these policies then action will be taken by the Club Committee. You can also approach Committee members to discuss your concerns.
