Fixtures for grading rounds 1 & 2 are now available online: ‘Fratelli Frankston’ Junior Domestic
** Due to their later start date, Monday and Thursday fixtures will be released by April 25th.
The junior season will be structured into the following grading phases:
- Grading Phase 1 – Rounds 1 & 2. Changes are made for round 3, premiership points do not contribute to the regular season ladder.
- Grading Phase 2 – Rounds 3 & 4. Changes are made for round 5, premiership points do not contribute to the regular season ladder.
- Confirmation Phase – Rounds 5 & 6. Changes can be made for round 7. Premiership points contribute to the regular season ladder. Teams that are re-graded carry across premiership points with their percentage reset to 0.
- FDBA Domestic Competition Grading Policy
All junior ladders will be sorted by the Points Average, or “AVG PTS” formula:
Season Structure: Top 4 teams at the completion of the regular season play off in a 2-round finals series.
Example:
Semi Final = 1st vs 4th, 2nd vs 3rd
Grand Final = Winner of Semi-Final 1 vs Winner of Semi-Final 2
Under 8’s Competition:
U8’s will be a continuous grading process as per the FDBA Development Block document which can be viewed below:
Competition Venues:
Please be advised, participants will have to be flexible with playing at a variety of venues throughout the season.
Patrons heading to the Monash Peninsula courts for games must also be cautious to ensure they are parking in the correct areas.
Facility Parking: Please note that there are parking restrictions at the facility. Refer to the Peninsula Campus Site Map for details. Parking is permitted in the free Blue S1 car park as indicated on the attached site map. The purple car park behind MPARC is a restricted parking zone 24 hours a day – members who park in this area may receive an infringement notice. Important to note any unauthourised vehicle caught parking in the private purple S2 car park at the back of Monash Sport will most likely be issued with a parking fine.
Parking restrictions may be variable, and patrons should always check signage prior to leaving their vehicle.
