BUFC DEVELOPMENT SQUADS

The idea behind the BUFC development squads is that it allows us to combine the best of Belnorth players with those from Belsouth and then to see if those players may benefit from playing in a higher level competition.  For example Belnorth and Belsouth U14 players when combined could have better opportunities to develop if playing in the U15 competition.

Additionally is is planned that this squads would alternately train with the remaining Belnorth Players one night and the Belsouth players on another. This provides the option for the sharing of coaching ideas between the BUFC and Belnorth coaches.

If it proves a particular age group (girls or boys) would not be suited to a higher level of competition then that squad would train as a unit but players return to their respective Belnorth team for training and weekend games.

All players involved with BUFC teams must be registered with Belnorth or Belsouth clubs to participate in the BUDS program. Belnorth registered players will have the opportunity to play up and down between the Belconnen and Belnorth teams depending on form, injury or in the interest of developing players.

So in summary, if you wish to be considered for the BUDS program we would suggest attending both the BUFC and Belnorth sessions.  If you are just interested in Belnorth then just attend our grading. If you do not attend the Belnorth sessions then your chances of being selected for a Division one or two team is remote. You will most likely be placed in Div 3.
