Registering with the Jets

 

What's The Deal In Registering?
Mark welcomes a new Jet to the club

2008 Registration dates below....

While fees are a necessity of any club, the Gungahlin Junior Australian Football Club (Junior Jets) will always try and adopt an approach of best value for your dollar. The fees applied are regarded as an essential revenue source for the Junior Jets and directly assist in items such as insurance, ground and facilities hire, football equipment, jumpers, shorts and socks etc. The committee also considers that the fees charged are exceptionally well priced and are very competitive with the charges levied by other similar sporting organisations..

The fees for becoming a Junior Jet are:

  • $80 single player
  • $100 for two players
  • $120 for three or more children
  • $50 for Auskick
  • Prorata rate for joining after the half way point of the season $
  • Prorata rate for joining after Auskick $30

Note: A $10 discount will be given per player to a maximum of $30 if they already have shorts and socks.

These fees apply to all players of the Junior Jets. A player who joins after the half way point of the season will pay a prorata rate as set by the Committee prior to the commencement of the season. Those players involved in the AFL Auskick program will be required to pay the fees as set by the AFL for Auskick. Should a player wish to participate in both junior football and Auskick at the beginning of the season, they will be required to pay the fees for both. No family discounts are provided for Auskick as these fees are set by the AFL. A player who joins the Junior Jets following the end of the Auskick season will pay a prorata registration fee as set by the Committee prior to the commencement of the season to cover the costs associated with shorts/socks and other individual equipment provided by the Club.

Examples

  • John and Judy have two sons who will be playing for the Jets Under 9's and 12's. Total cost is $100 (two player rate).
  • Phil and Lyn have three children wishing to play Australian Rules Football at Gungahlin. Their eldest boy Troy will play in the Under 9's. Their other two children Kate and Brad will be playing Auskick. They will need to pay $80 for Troy to join the Junior Jets and $100 (2 × $50) for Kate and Brad to do Auskick. Total cost of $180.
  • Matt and Michelle have four children wishing to join the Gungahlin Jets. Three of their children will be playing in the Under 14's, U11's and U9's. Their youngest child will be undertaking the Auskick program. Total cost is $170 ($120 for 3 or more + $50 for Auskick).
  • Nigel and Sally have two children who will be undertaking the Auskick program. Total cost is $100 (2 × $50).
  • Billy and Rachel's child, Alek, joined Auskick at the beginning of the year and paid $50 for registration. Alek now wishes to do Clubstart for the remainder of the year. Billy and Rachel have to pay a further $30. Total cost for the year $80.

The Club understands that things get forgotten or that sometimes it is difficult to make payments. The Club also recognise the differing financial and social circumstances with parents/guardians and will be happy to negotiate arrangements regarding fees.
