2027 Grading

Whats App Image 2026- 09- 26 at 15. 41. 09

We do our best to accommodate all players. Some will be offered a position in a current team that has positions available, while some will be placed in a new team our aim to have all kids playing in the correct skill group. 

Our community teams generally have coaches that are current parents or senior/reserve players. There are a few teams that may have more experienced paid coaches dependant on demand.

We ask every parent to consider coaching a team. We offer coaching support with our newly appointed Coaching Coordinator, and will provide access to courses and FV training as this will be required.

Grading

Players that miss the grading nights will be placed in any team of their age group initially however may be moved according to skill once training begins.

There are teams in the MiniRoos age groups that have been playing together for a few seasons and play in a higher graded team. If there are vacancies in these specific teams, players are invited to train by coach invitation only.

Levels at MiniRoos Community are Joeys, Wallabies and Kangaroos. 
Levels at Juniors Community are B,C,D
Its important to note that players will be placed in the most appropriate team for their current ability and will play competitive matches against similar level teams. It's so important that players enjoy their experience while gaining new skills and learning to play a team sport.

We will do our best to accommodate all players. The majority of new players in our younger ge groups will play in a Joey level team. It is important that players get the best experience and enjoy playing. As a community club, we are always looking for for parents/guardians or older siblings to take on coaching roles. You may have a love for the game, have other sporting experience or just want to get involved. Please let us know if you are able to assist with this.

Match Day

MiniRoos and Juniors have 18 rounds of compeition. Generally, there are 9 home matches and 9 away matches.


Football Victoria administer the competition and detemine the leagues. Lagues are split into 4 zones, North, South, East and West. As there are usually several leagues within each zone, FV will strive to group clubs in leagues based on club locations within zones.

Higher grade leagues may have a wider travel zone based on team entries but generally they will still be within the N,S,E and W zones.

All parents will have roles or tasks allocated to them to ensure that match day runs smoothly and that your child gets the best experience on match day.

Casey Comets is no different to other community clubs or sports codes in expecting parent participation to ensure that match day and/or training runs smoothly. 

Roles on match day could be 
  • ensuring the pitch is safe to play
  • assisting with the player pre match warm up 
  • providing 1/2 time oranges (roster system)
  • stand in should no referee arrive (home matches) 
  • ensure that match balls and corner flags are in situ
  • running lines (U12+)
  • team marshall

FV have released a Club Handbook that contains detailed information regarding match day. We ask that all parents/guardians read the match book as it contains important information on what can be expected during the season. This may be updated for 2025.

Casey Comets has to comply with FV Rules and Regulations and needs to ensure that teams have a team marshall and that we have ground marshalls at the facility. These are volunteer roles that are carried out by teams (parents). FV have supplied a Ground Marshall Handbook with information regarding the position responsibilities.

Kits (Uniforms)

Playing kits are not covered by club fees and are purchased separately.


The club has a supply of kits on site for purchase, however kits can also be purchased direct from the supplier should a size not be available. 

A playing kit contains a home shirt, away shirt, shorts and socks. Your TM will advise which shirt should be worn each week, although we recommend bringing both shirts to each match.

The playing kits are mandatory wear and comply with all FV Rules and Regulations of competition.
Returning players can reuse their kits from last year, while new players purchase kits. The club will strive to provide kits with numbers not already allocated. It may that a kit has to be ordered with an unused number or we can adapt the number so there are no number duplications.

We will order in a large supply of socks as we recommend purchasing additional socks.

Club Merchandise is also available direct from the supplier (jackets, coats, tracksuits)

Shinguards are MANDATORY. We have shin guards available to buy at a low price or they can be purchased from a reputable sports store.

Football Boots must be worn at training and match day. A referee will not allow a player to participate without shinguards, club football socks or football boots,

Football boots should have plastic studs (no metal studs). Boots can be purchased from a reputable sports store. We recommend wearing the boots in for comfort, purchasing based on player comfort and keep in mind that children's feet grow extraordinarily quickly.
