Team Selection Information

 TEAM SELECTION : 10TH -17TH GRADES, YOUTH  AND GIRLS 2023

If you are interested in being considered to play in one of our Academy, A Band, Div 1 and 2 teams, you need to come along to our age group team selection sessions.

All other players who don’t wish to attend team selection or who don’t get selected for an Academy, A Band, Div 1 or 2 team will be put into teams as soon as possible once registration is closed.   Please register for the season early to be sure of a place.

We are running separate sessions if your player wants to trial as a Goal Keeper.  They are welcome to come to the outfield trials too. 

We also have 10th to 16th Grade Girls only teams with separate sessions. We are still waiting for clarification frm Mainland about where girls born 2005 and 2006 will play so please message lisay@ctfc.co.nz if you have a player of this age.  We will also run seperate girls GK trials - date will be confirmed asap.

Please note the following:

  • You should attend the team selection for your age group and grade determined by your Year of Birth. ; 10thGrade (2013), 11th Grade (2012), 12th Grade (2011), 13th Grade (2010), 14th Grade (2009), 15th Grade (2008) and 17th (2006 and 2007).
  • Girls 10th (2013), 12th (2011 and 2012), 14th (2009 and 2010), 16th (2007 and 2008). We are still waiting for clarification frm Mainland about where girls born 2005 and 2006 will play so please message lisay@ctfc.co.nz if you have a player of this age.
  • Girls have the option of attending age group team selection if they want to play in a mixed team, or the girl’s team selection if they want to play in a girl’s only team.

 Team Selection sessions are only a small part of our process for putting our teams together. They give us an opportunity to see all of our players in one environment to see how they have developed over the past year and gives all players an opportunity to impress.  We also use lots of different coaches to assess players at trials and then collate scores to ensure there is as no bias in selections.  

When selecting team’s we also take in to consideration feedback from their previous years coach as well as players performances at tournaments, CTFC Academy training attendance and feedback from Academy coaches.

All final selection decisions will be made by the Director of Football.

Team selection:

  • 10th, 11th and 12th grades will comprise of a ‘city wide’ competition with 8 different bands.
  • These grades will play in groups of 6 teams. Every 5 weeks (one round played) the grades will be shuffled with two teams moving up and two teams moving down. The groups will not be split by geography. This may be different depending on the number of entries at each band.
  • In 13th – 17th grades, we will be entering an Academy team into the Youth Premier League, and 1 or more in Division 1 (depending on league structure).
  • In Girl’s grades, we will select a 14th and a 16th Grade Academy team.  We will also aim to choose one or more competitive teams in other grades, depending on the final league structure.

We will be posting team selections on our website by the end of February / early March.

If you are interested in trialling for one of these teams but can’t attend our team selection sessions or if you have any queries, please email Lisa Young at lisay@ctfc.co.nz.
