For children playing in U6 to U11, please note that the membership fee is also inclusive of all game fees. Whilst some other clubs still charge a lower annual fee, those clubs then ask team managers each week of the season to collect game fees (weekly game fees can vary from $5 to $10, and so over an 18 week season can total between $90 to $180). In 2005, the club received significant member support to incorporate the weekly game fees into the annual membership fee.
