Costs involved

Each tournament costs approximately $115 - $130 per player.  This includes pool hire, tournament entry fees, equipment levy, competitors pass, and club registration fee. Accommodation and food expenses are not included.  Coaches and managers gifts are presented at the end of the season.  Your fee covers this, so no teams are expected to provide gifts during the season. 
 

If you are interested in being part of our u12 programme please contact Dallas Couvee, our club administrator, for an enrolment form.  Remember, at u12 level, you can play any or all of the tournaments for the year.

Kind regards
