    On average, the monthly cost which includes training fees and tournament costs is around $90 per month for 10 months, August to April.  Registration is a one time fee of $140 and uniform costs are extra, averaging around $125 per uniform which is for a 2-3 year uniform kit.
  • How much travel is involved?
    U9-U12 teams compete in one 2 day tournament per month. Teams may add "friendly" games which are played on Saturdays only.

These teams will resume training and tournaments in February. U9-U12 teams continue to train and play through the winter months.
