How to Enrol
Please select the relevant program you wish to enrol your child in. When you select the relevant program you will need to complete the enrolment form and set up your monthly payments. For parents that share the cost of training, please each select the relevant “shared payment” option. You will each need to complete the enrolment form for your child and must do it on the same day so the payments align. Parents who do not will be invoiced the difference at an additional cost. The ‘shared payment’ option is not for those who have multiple children enrolled.
Training fees are payable monthly in advance and the first payment is due when you submit your enrolment form and will then be taken monthly on the same day that the enrolment form was submitted, that is, if you submitted the enrolment form on 5 May then the next payment will be taken on the 5 June. With payments on a monthly basis players can opt in, opt out or take a break at any time during the year for a month or more.
A reminder that as all payments are due monthly in advance, we recommend that you enrol just before or on the first day your child attends.
