Attendance

 

Every athlete is important and valuable to our teams so it is vital that everyone attends all practices. Family emergencies, school functions, and a few other instances are the only acceptable reasons to miss practice. Sickness, vacations and studying are just a few examples of not acceptable reasons to miss practice. Starting the second week of February all Elite athletes will be put on a 3 strikes attendance policy that will last the entire year.

 

2012 Term Fees

 

We have finalised our operating budget for 2012 and a table of our revised fees is set out below. Due to rising costs, increases in venue charges we have had to increase our fees. We are well aware of difficulties being faced by many in this tough economic climate and we have done our very best to limit the increase to the bare minimum.

 

In our effort to keep the increase low we are no longer offering a prompt payment discount. Fees as always, will still be due on the first week of the term. To keep our administration costs as low as possible we ask that you please pay by the due date.
