There's nothing we love more than our members coming back to play with us in the following season!
Returning Players do not need to complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) form. Our members will be emailed an invitation directly to the Season Registration as soon as registration opens in early December.
A Returning Player is a player who has paid all of their club fees the previous year (ie a financial member). If the player has skipped a year, they are not considered a Returning Player and will need to go through the New Player process.
SIBLINGS of Returning Players who are NEW to the club can also be included on the Season Registration (as we offer Sibling Discounts). For NEW Year 7/8 Players who are a sibling of a Returning Player, they must go through the New Player process to participate in Trials. They can then be included on the Season Registration.
