Special Requests for placement in a team: Whilst every endeavor is made to fulfill requests for players to be placed in the same team this is not always possible. We do our best to accomodate requests
We make the teams up as follows:
1. Anyone that has volunteered to coach, we take their child and look at their requests and put them into a team. The only exception to this is if they have requested a child that is too old for the grade. Players can play up a grade but not down. No exceptions.
2. We then fill these teams with the other children that are left.
So, as you can see those who volunteer their services are most likely to get their requests met.
Coaching is not as onerous a task as you may think, the club fully supports all coaches with coaching courses and our Coaching Developer can give you help with coaching tips. Coaching is interesting, fun and rewarding and if you are going to be there you may as well be doing something. We also require volunteers to score and umpire each week.
Please consider when making a request that this is an excellent opportunity for you and your child to form friendships with people that you may not otherwise have met if your child had been placed in a team with players he or she is at school with everyday.
Note – please note that all grades that are included in this ACA menu are not available through all Clubs. For the Grades that are available through TDCC are listed on the Junior Boys page/Grades.
