Family Particpation Deposit
2010-11
Family participation deposit: $60 (Per family)New members to the centre often ask why do we have this levy? On some nights there may be up to 300 little athletes competing at the centre and there are about 12 committee and coaching members at the centre. However it actually takes about 90 people to run a competition night program, so unless we can get enough parents to assist with the myriad of jobs that occur on each competition night we simply can't operate. We are fortunate that most parents are happy to help on competition nights and without your invaluable support and help we would be in trouble. However, with the many demands on parents times there is sometimes a temptation to drop the athletes off and go off to do other things.
So the Centre introduced the Parent Participation Fee as a levy to encourage parents to assist. It's the old story 'many hands make light work' and the more people that help the more smoothly and quicker the night proceeds. Remember if there is insufficient help it will cause delays, which will effect all competitors and families.
The fee is $60.00 which is fully refundable at or after the Annual General Meeting at the end of the season, provided that the parents fulfill certain requirements. To ensure that we record the fact that you have assisted and to ensure you are covered by insurance you must sign on at the Parent Participation table.
All we are asking is that parents commit themselves to a minimum of eleven (11) nights - at six (6) before Christmas and five (5) after Christmas in any of the following areas.
* Competition assistance;
* Friday night set up;
* Ground maintenance.
Uniform Fees

Regional & State Competition Fees
If your child is competing at these carnivals then your assistance will also be required on the day. When you submit nomination forms, the Officials Officer or Nominations Officer will ask you to place your name on a helper list. Duties are the same as those required for our club competition evenings, so don�t feel you lack the qualification for experienced officials are on hand to offer advice and as you assist in the running of events you will be gaining experience. Special positions to be filled are Team Manager and Age Group Managers (Relay Day Only). Remember the people running these events are volunteers like you.
