Muster days and Grading - what is the difference?
Muster days are where your child is allocated into a team, this is where a coach and manager to lead the team will be decided.
Muster days are generally used with younger age groups who are just beginning their journey of playing football and gaining skills.
Grading days are where your child will take part in small games where experienced club officials ensure that the players are placed in a team that best fits them to ensure they are playing in the right division based on their abilities. This helps them develop their skills while playing in a fair competition.
