When is grading? Do I attend grading?
View the grading schedule http://www.gufc.com.au/Registration/grading
Grading works as follows:
U6 and u7 – attend a ‘muster’, where children are grouped into team. There is no grading – teams are simply formed with friends or new friends! The emphasis for these age groups is fun and enjoyment of football, rather than competition.
U8 – u18 and jw12 – jw18 – attend grading on designated days and are graded into teams. GUFC emphasis fun, but we also like to ensure players have the best chance to improve their skills and keep coming back to football.
U21, jw21 and senior teams – are organised into teams by GUFC and/or players. See How do I put in my pre-organised u21 or senior team?

Can I play with friends?
This depends on your age group:
u6 and u7 – can play with friends. This is organised at the u6 and u7 muster days (in early-mid February). You don’t need to arrange this at registration.
u8-u18 – players are graded into teams on designated grading days
u21 and seniors – players can arrange to play with friends or in pre-existing teams.
When registering online, how do I indicate who I want to play with (seniors only)?
There is no way to indicate who you will play with as part of the online registration process.
Team coaches and managers from 2011 will be contacted around registration time and asked to put in team sheets.
If you are a whole team transferring from another club or an individual player wishing to be placed in a team, contact Cathy Economos, Registrar registrar@gufc.com.au
I would like to play out of grade. How do I do this online?
For junior players, the online registration system will only accept a registration from you based on your birth date. For example, if you were born in 2002, you will only be allowed to register in the u10 age group. If you wish to play up a grade:
1. Register in the grade the system presents you
2. Then email Gary Wall, GUFC Head Coach, headcoach@gufc.com.au to advise you wish to play up a grade
3. Attend the grading day(s) of the grade you want to play in.
We would like to transfer our whole team from another club to GUFC?
Registering block teams is only available to senior teams, (u21 and over). Players will all individually need to register, either online or at GUFC registration days. If you are a whole team transferring from another club please also contact Cathy Economos, Registrar registrar@gufc.com.au and let us know.
What day will my training be?
U6 and u7
Once the muster has taken place and teams are formed – teams choose their training day between two set options (last year this was Tuesday or Thursday 4.30-5.30). u6 and u7 training is held at set times to better support coaches, organise equipment and create a fun atmosphere for the young children. It also allows teams to train together if low on numbers and/or play games against each other at training.
U8 and over
Once grading is complete and teams are formed - teams choose their training day. The coach and/or manager for your team will likely select a time that best suits the majority of the team. The coach and/or manager also has to confirm with GUFC that there is space available to train at your requested time.
Who will be our coach and/or manager? I would like to be coach and/or manager
Coaches and managers are very important to our club. All coaches and managers are volunteers.
For most junior teams, the coach and manager comes from within the team (ie. a parent, brother, sister or friend) and they self-nominate at the muster and grading days.
Senior teams need to organise a coach and manager.
If you are interested in coaching or managing a team, step forward and let the team know at muster/grading day!
Those coaching senior teams or wanting to coach a team, other than the one they’re involved with, contact Gary Wall, Head Coach headcoach@gufc.com.au
Is there a refund policy for registration fees?
Any player withdrawing from a team after the completion of grading will forfeit 10% of their registration fee.
Any players withdrawing from a team after team sheets have been submitted to the SSFA will forfeit 50% of their registration fee plus all SSFA fees.
