Grading

Grading, or rating, is the process by which player ability is assessed.  

Players can do this themselves against a checklist of competencies, or take part in a grading activity, with a coach, a club which offers informal grading, or taking part in events.

Assess yourself using a rating chart (there are many variations on this but broadly speaking they are looking at similar traits, but may be different phrasing or resulting scores) or come along as a guest for an evening, we have players from 1.5 (experienced beginners) to 4.0 (high intermediate level players).

To give you an idea of player standard in the leagues we are entering teams in, the following would be the expected rating of players, using the above chart as guide.

• East Surrey Division 1: 3+

• East Surrey Division 2: 2+

• Sutton Division 1: 4.5+

• Sutton Division 2: 4+

• Sutton Division 3: 3.5+
