PAYMENTS

Payment by credit card in person at the club will attract a surcharge, so paying online not only saves you time, but also avoids merchant fees.

If you register online and opt to pay in person, then you must pay your fees before attending any training or grading sessions. You must make payment at one of our Junior Sign On sessions (dates listed above), otherwise registrations will not be processed and any registrations of interest made online will be declined if they are not finalised on one of the registration days.

Payment of fees will not be available at grading or team placement nights and players cannot grade or be placed in a team until their fees have been paid.

FAMILY DISCOUNTS: Players (U8-U16) are entitled to a family discount on their second and subsequent registration. The condition is that at least one person in the immediate family must be a member (all members must be over the age of 18, therefore a parent of a child playing at Mt Gravatt is the member). The first child is charged the full registration price and the second and subsequent children given a discount.

A family discount also applies if the 2nd or subsequent registration is a senior player (provided that the player is Under 18 years of age at time of registration or the player is already a member by having registered a child to play e.g. parent/guardian). Discounts only apply to immediate family and all players 18 and older must be members of the club and therefore can not be bundled and therefore a family discount does not apply.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Due to limited field space, we will have to limit the number of teams. As a result of these limitations, a “first in best dressed” basis will apply with numbers. If you are unable to attend on the above dates, please contact our Junior Directors (juniors@mtgravatthawks.org) and get your name on the list for your age group for 2018.

Please ensure that you give the correct age group as an error can lead to a lot of heartache. Club policy requires that all players play in their correct age group. Please note that this policy will be strictly applied to in 2018 and there will be no relaxation of this policy.

MT GRAVATT HAWKS FC (U8-U16)

It is Club Policy that all players in Divisional (Under 12-16) teams be graded. This ensures that players are playing at a level appropriate to their skill level which should ensure that they get maximum enjoyment from their football. Grading is determined by nominated officials and includes the coach for the highest graded team in that age group. The club's decision on grading is final.

We require players in Under 8's, 9’s, 10’s and 11’s to nominate if they are interested in playing in an MiniRoos Komodo Dragon team within their age groups. The Komodo Dragons players are to have average to above average football skills as matches are usually played with a high skill level. These teams will not be determined based on “playing with your mates” and may require a final selection process if player numbers accommodate this. A check box will be placed on the registration allowing you to tick this box if you would like to be considered for a Komodo Dragons team.

MINIROOS PROGRAM (U8-U12)

Mini Roos program by Football Federation Australia (FFA) is a modified form of the world game and is specifically designed to increase player participation and enjoyment. Smaller teams (and field size) actually increase the number of touches on the ball. It's more fun!!.  

U6 and U7 play 4 v 4 on a 1/8 park, U8 and 9 play 7v7 on a 1/4 park and U10, U11 and 12 play 9v9 on a 1/2 size field.

For more information on the FFA's MiniRoos Program click [HERE]

NOTE: PLAYERS BORN 2007-2010 (UNDER 8, 9, 10 AND 11)

Football Brisbane has introduced a “soft grading” model for these age groups. Clubs are offered the opportunity to group experienced players (with average to above average skills) together and nominate teams in the Komodo Dragons hub. This allows players of similar abilities to play in the same team and against teams of similar abilities.

This season in Under 8's, 9’s, 10’s and 11’s we are giving players the opportunity to nominate if they are interested in playing in a Komodo Dragons team within their age groups. These teams will not be determined based on “playing with your mates” and may require a final selection process if player numbers accommodate this. A check box will be placed on the registration allowing you to tick this box if you would like to be considered for a Komodo Dragons team.

For more information relating to the Komodo Dragons grading and nomination process, please contact juniors@mtgravatthawks.org

NOTE: PLAYERS BORN 2006 (UNDER 12)

This season in Under 12's they will be playing in the MiniRoos format (1/2 a park, 9v9), however teams will be playing competitively (playing for premierships) and therefore will be graded into divisions.

This means that the U12 players will need to be graded (therefore playing with mates is no longer possible) and that all players will be graded as per the Club's Junior Grading processes.

KOMODO DRAGONS (U8-11)

If you have opted to be considered for a Komodo Dragons team grading (U8-U11 only) , then please ensure that you attend grading sessions that will be provided, starting on the week beginning 22/02/18 (all sessions will be at Dittmer Park, Klumpp Road, Upper Mt Gravatt).

MINIROOS (U8-11) TEAM PLACEMENT

Please note that in these age groups, there is no grading of players. Players are able to nominate other players they wish to play with, however these requests will need to made on your Online Registration (see questions are the end of the registration process) or on Registration Day. Placement in a team with those players is not guaranteed, but where possible all requests will be accommodated. It is important that all players attend the appropriate Team Placement date and time so that Coaches, Managers and Teams can be finalised and training times confirmed.

Team placement/muster will be Thursday March 8, 2018.

 NOTE: All players must be registered (and paid) before Team Placement nights in order to be placed in a team.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL PROGRAM (U13-U16)

It is Club Policy that all players in Divisional (Under 12-16) teams be graded. This ensures that players are playing at a level appropriate to their skill level, which should ensure that they get maximum enjoyment from their football. Grading is determined by nominated officials and includes the coach for the highest graded team in that age group.

NOTE: PLAYERS BORN 2006 (UNDER 12)

Please note that this also now applies to U12 who whilst playing in the MiniRoos format will also be graded by Football Brisbane, therefore the club needs to grade all players in this age group.

JUNIOR GRADING (U12-U16)

It is club policy that all players in U12-U16 teams be graded. This ensures that players are playing at a level appropriate to their skill level. Grading will commence the week beginning 15/01/18.

NOTE: All players must be registered (and paid) with the club before they are able to be graded.

Please note that Selection Matches will be invitation only - players will be invited on the last training session of the week, before each match.

Grading will be completed as early as possible to enable unsuccessful players to gain membership with other clubs if they desire.

Please note that there will be NO REFUNDS of registration and membership fees after they have been processed by the Club. All players that register will be offered in a place. In the event due to circumstances out of the club's control, if a place is not able to offered, then club fees will be refunded.
