FAQ | RAMS Soccer

Q. What night is training?

The training night is coordinated by the coach of the team. The coach will need to consult with the team’s parents and the committee for ground availability. Most teams train one night a week.

Q. How old does my child have to be to play?

To be eligible for U6's your child must be turning 5 in 2016.

Q. My daughter would like to play soccer. Do you have any girl teams?

Yes, our girls and ladies teams are rapidly growing. Girls and Ladies soccer is played on a Sunday. Over 35 ladies play on Friday Nights.

Q. Why grade players?

The Rouse Hill Rams Soccer Division is part of the Granville District Soccer Football Association (GDSFA). Clubs within this association must grade some players to ensure that teams play with and against players of similar skill and ability. In 2016 we have adopted an approach which allows for both those children who want to push their skill level and try to improve their division selection, and for those who want to play with their mates.

For full details, please see the Grading Policy on this website

Q. How is grading done?

Grading is carried out by a panel of committee members and and if available an independant experienced consultant. Players are assessed on their all round soccer abilities and information provided by the previous seasons coaches. Grading will take place in early February and only players that have registered on MyFootballClub website and paid in full, will be eligible to be graded.
