The Glen Eira Selection Criteria
The following factors are taken into account when offering spots in Glen Eira teams. You’ll see it’s not just about the players.
- The player’s ability.
- For high-level and mid-level teams, selection is mostly about ability. The other factors below still count but they play a lesser role.
- For social teams U13 upwards, there is still some emphasis on ability however other factors count more.
- For social teams U12 downwards, there is little emphasis on ability, it’s mostly the other factors.
- For high-level and mid-level teams, selection is mostly about ability. The other factors below still count but they play a lesser role.
- Whether the team has a vacancy in the player’s usual playing position.
- Having a parent appointed as a coach for the upcoming season.
- Having a parent appointed to another volunteer role for the upcoming season. Examples: team manager, assistant coach, committee member or other club-level role.
- Whether the player was a member of the same team last year.
