Listing guidelines
What a useful team notice includes
Open XI shows amateur clubs looking for players so you can compare suburb, level, open roles, and training times—without ranking clubs or promising a place in a squad.
What players should learn from a notice
A clear post says who the club needs and where they train: suburb or venue, skill level, open positions, usual session times, and how to get in touch—not a vague “all players welcome” line with no detail.
What we label
We mark the type of notice when it helps: a full team profile, a trial weekend, a single vacant role, or an evening training group. We revisit posts when roles, times, or venues change in a material way.
No club rankings
Open XI does not publish a league table of “best” clubs or players. A well-written notice can still be the wrong fit for your level or suburb. Clear facts matter more than a score.
Corrections
Use the contact form if something looks wrong. When a change affects a live notice, we update it and record the change on the updates page.
Parts of a team notice
| Part | Purpose | Typical question |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Suburb, venue, and travel notes before someone messages the club. | Where does this team train? |
| Open roles | Positions still needed, without a full squad spreadsheet. | Which positions are still open? |
| Limits | Age group, availability, or missing details players should know. | What might not suit me? |
| Next step | How interested players should follow up with the club. | What should I do next? |
