If a team has reached it’s limit of players, the club will work with the family to try to achieve a solution. This may mean being added to a waiting list.

The club doesn’t do player trials HOWEVER player grading may occur to ensure the player is placed in the correct age/grade/standard.
Players may be asked to play up an age group or if they haven’t played at all before, in an age group lower.
This ensures the player gets the development they require rather than being in a team that is well above/below their standard.
Payment/part-payment must be received by 1 February then registration will be cancelled. If you need assistance make alternate arrangements with the club – speak to your junior coordinator.
The club doesn’t want to cause any financial concerns so close to Xmas so the club has implemented an online payment plan where payment can be spread over 5 months.

The club is always trying to recruit new players. That said, there are some considerations such as the number of players at training, insurance requirements etc which need to be addressed. We suggest you run the idea by the coach and team manager prior to bringing someone down.

The clubrooms are effectively for everyone to use, especially when weather makes it uncomfortable outside. However, minors (under 13) must be supervised by a parent and not left unattended in the clubrooms. Behaviour is to be quiet and respectful at all times. The social room is used for meeting at various times throughout the season and therefore, it may not be available for use.
