DISPENSATIONS
Girls are permitted to play one grade down – ie one year below their age
eg a 9 years old girl may place in the 8th grade.
In the case of any child that requires to place down one grade due to sickness or injury, it is
necessary for the club/school to submit an application for a dispensation for this child to play
down a grade in writing, stating
Club/School
Name of children
Age
Grade and team to play in
Reason for dispensation
Note: If a school is unable to field an older team, then dispensation may be considered for
older children to play down a grade if necessary.
To encourage players to play at their appropriate skill level, skilled younger players or whole
teams may play up a grade.
