Basics of Our Grading Process

We organize our squads into 7 different levels, ranging from A to G Squad.

At Beachvolleyball.com.au, we’re dedicated to ensuring that every player is in the most suitable level for their skills. We understand that progress varies from player to player, and we adapt accordingly.

How We Grade Players

Our grading process is based on a continuous assessment system. We’ve developed an internal grading guideline that outlines the skills required for each level. Most of our coaches are involved with different squads, giving them an excellent sense of a player’s readiness to move up. This assessment is typically based on their in-game performance, especially their consistent digging and setting, which our coaches emphasize as key on-court skills.

When a player demonstrates readiness to move up, we contact them and offer a higher level of training. Ideally, we encourage players to participate in sessions with different coaches to receive diverse feedback. Once at least two of your coaches give their approval, we confirm your new level.

Seeking Progress

If you feel you’ve outgrown your current level or need a fresh challenge, please talk to your coach before or after a session. We value your feedback and aim to provide specific guidance to help you advance to the next level.

Regrading Process

We kindly ask that you refrain from emailing Michaela, Sarah, and Tiago, especially if they haven’t coached you recently. The responsibility for grading lies with your coaches, including our managers in Manly and Maroubra.

Patience and hard work are essential as you progress through our levels. The most important thing is to continue enjoying the game and the journey of improvement.
