AGE GROUP FAQs

Can a player permanently play in an older age group?

  • It depends:
  • 7-9 years can play across the age group, however it is preferable to keep players of a similar age together in our non-competitive teams eg. 7/8 years, 8/9 years
  • 10 years cannot permantly play in an 11 years competition
  • Requests for other age groups can be made to the committee/selection panel for consideration
  • 18 & 19 year old players can play in either the Inters or the Opens competition. This will be determined by registration numbers in teams

  • For players aged 10 years or older, players are asked to participate in trials. The selectors will consider the friendship request when requests are received from both players.
  • Players must play within their age groups. If the request to play with a friend is in another age group that request will require further cosideration and approval from our association
