U6 - U10 Small Sided FootballThere is no selection or grading process at all in forming or joining a team in these age groups. All that is required is for your child to be ready and willing to enjoy and learn the game. The following squad sizes are set for each age group:
Further information on all aspects of small sided football for each age group is set out below. Forming a TeamForming a new team is easy - if your child and friends want to join the club for the first time, it is simply a matter of getting their names together and letting us know prior to sign-on weekend.

More Information on Small Sided FootballFootball Queensland is continuing the rollout of small sided football in 2010, which means that the format is introduced at the U10 age group. For all information of small sided football, including the parent flyer, game leader resource (U6/7) and instructing referee resource (U8/9/10), please go to www.smallsidedfootball.com.au Under 6 & 7 Finally, click here to view the Football Brisbane Website which contains a summary of all you need to know on SSF, including all relevant flyers and links for game day and training tips. Points Table & Finals FFA advises that the keeping of points table and playing of finals must not be done for the Under 6 - 10 age group. This should not start until the Under 11 age group where children start playing 11 v 11 on a full size pitch. U9 and U10 - Competition Levels - Goannas, Geckos and KomodosFootball Brisbane will continue to utilise the participation grouping system implemented in 2009 for Under 9's and 10's only. However, after a number of submissions from clubs and a recommendation from the Junior Standing Committee, Football Brisbane has agreed to introduce a third grouping over and above the Geckos and Goannas. This group will be known as the Komodo Dragons and will be introduced on a trial basis for 2010. FFA has in the Optus Small Sided Football Handbook for 2010 recognised the need where possible that teams of reasonably equal ability are playing each other. Therefore FB will trial this third group in an attempt to ensure the enjoyment for all players, no matter what skill level they are. Briefly the groupings are as follows: Geckos - Players in the team are of minimal skill or are new to the sport and need time to learn rules and develop skills and teamwork. These teams will play either in-house or in hubs, depending on the club. (There is no change to this group from previous years) Goannas - Players in the team have average skills, played the sport previously and as such know the rules and how to play as a team and can engage in matches with minimal instruction from their coach. These teams will play in-house or in hubs, depending on the club. (There is no change to this group from previous years) Komodo Dragons - Players in the team have average to above average skills. Matches are usually played with speed, skill and tactics. These teams will play in either the North, West or South zone (please refer to table below). Therefore, travel between clubs will be required. The number of hubs within each zone will be dependent on the number of nominations. Teams are automatically nominated for the goanna level. If you wish to nominate your team for the gecko or komodo level, please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it at the commencement of the season to arrange for your team to be assessed. Please note this new participation group in no way entitles clubs to break up existing teams in order to grade them. It is solely designed to have existing teams playing against other teams of similar ability. As the team skills develop, clubs will have the ability to move the team into the grouping that best fits that team's skill level. All groupings will follow the SSF Rules and there will be NO points table or results kept or advertised. Updating to the SSF Rules has been completed. However, as the process of implementing the third group is refined, there may be a requirement to issue newer versions later in the year. Please be vigilant for any such changes.
