The general philosophy of the Heathmont Jets Junior Football Club is that all players deserve the opportunity to experience playing in a variety of positions throughout their football development. Coaches at all age groups are encouraged to play players in a variety of positions throughout the season, and in so doing teach them the various positional requirements, disciplines and versatility required to play the game.
To support coaches in this aim the following policy guidelines have been developed for the various stages of player development and age groups:
- Stage 1: Fundamental Stage (Under 8’s, Under 9’s and Under 10’s)
- Stage 2: Modelling Stage (Under 11’s; Under 12’s and Under 13’s)
- Stage 3: Establishment Stage (Under 14’s and Under 15’s)
- Stage 4: Specialising Stage (Under 17’s and Under 18’s).
