Registration Fees help to pay Capital Football (capitation, insurance, player levies, ID cards), ground hire for matches and training, equipment (balls, cones, shirts, net replacement), referees match fees, training courses for referees and coaches, newsletters, trophies, the yearbook, presentation day, and GST. The Club offsets these costs wherever possible with sponsorship and fundraising. This year fees:

Refund Policy. A full refund is available to players who withdrew from the club to the start of the season. Due to administration, training and other costs associated with players the refund is 50% from the start of the season to half way through the season, this point is the start of the July school holidays. After the half way mark of the season no refund is available.
Which Competition - there are four separate competitions, Mixed Rooball Under 6 to Under 9, Mixed Junior Under 10 to Under 18, Girls Rooball Under 8 to Under 9 and Girls Junior Under 10 to Under 16. Rooball is noncompetitive soccer played by younger children under modified rules, in teams based on schools, suburban areas or friendship groups. Where possible, age group coordinators will notify rooball players of team placement by email so that any problems can be ironed out before Rooball Organisation Day
Playing age is generally based on the calendar year ie. children turning 6 in this year can play in the U6 age group. Sometimes younger players may also be accepted at the discretion of the club eg. a child turning 5 who wishes to play with school friends in the U6 age group. Also, girls playing in mixed teams may choose to play a year down eg. an U7 girl may decide to play in an U6 mixed team. Please check with a coordinator if you have special requests like this.
Grading Days - All prospective coaches and managers are asked to attend. Players should arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled time for their grading session. All sessions are held at the Waramanga playing fields. See details.
Location of Games all Junior games are played at Waramanga and other grounds on a home/ away basis. Field allocations for games will be displayed on a board near the Canteen each Saturday. All players will receive a copy of their draw for the season and addresses for the location of away games.
Timetable games are played on Saturday mornings for RooBall and Saturday afternoons for Juniors. The soccer season covers Terms 2 and 3 with 9 games played each term, and four weeks break in between. With soccer's rapid growth last year, problems were encountered with large numbers of teams playing in the last timeslot of the day, affecting the availability of fields and adequate supply of referees. Amendments to the timetable are being finalised to try and rectify this, meaning that some age groups will be playing at a different time this year.
Uniform shirts are provided for teams on match days on a `loan' basis, with rosters organised for parents to launder them between games. Players will need to have their own black shorts, socks (black and white), shinpads and boots. The wearing of shinpads is compulsory for training and games.
2nd Hand Boots and shinpads etc in good condition can be bought and sold on Rooball Organisation Day (see Calender)). If you have 2nd hand gear you wish to sell or donate, bring it along on the day, or leave it with officials on Registration Day.
Cheer Squad parents are also asked to support referees, encourage all players, and help promote fair play. Remember that supporters who get a bit hot under the collar can affect the attitude of players as well, especially in the older age groups. 2004 will see the introduction of a Zero Tolerance Policy for Swearing, to be enforced by referees. Players who go too far may end up receiving a red card, missing the rest of that match and their next game as well. If you have concerns with inappropriate behaviour, please contact someone on the committee, as it has become an important issue in our sport.
Fundraising a Canteen operates at Waramanga to raise funds used to help keep fees down and subsidise the purchase of equipment. Sausage sizzles and meat raffles are also run on a roster basis. Your support of these activities is appreciated.
Sponsors - Video Ezy, McDonalds, Dominos and Kingsleys Chicken donate encouragement and sports awards which are handed out to team members each week during the season.
