FQA
Why did we change from accepting year 6 - 13 players to participate?
We identified that players had been skipping and missing our Player Development Program, therefore players were not ready developmentally or mentally for our skill sessions.
All our development programs have now been rebranded and allocated to an gae level. Satellite Cup is for all U14 players that will feed into our Representative Program.
Player Development Program in the New Year is for all Year 7 & 8 players.
Player Academy Program is for all U16 and U18 players.
Year 6 players come under the futureFERNs program.
If my child participated in last years Satellite Cup but does not turn 12 this year can she still register?
No, due the sessions now delivery our U14 academy content this will not be suitable for anyone under 12 years old. This program aligns with our Representative Age Group eligilbility.
Why only 4 weeks of sessions from the 6 weeks?
Based on feed back received from previous years 4 weeks was reccommended to be more suited due to school camps and prizegivings happening in December.
What does the $40 fee include?
We charge a fee to cover venue hire and maintenance. Equipment and gear used. First aid supplies. And costs to run the tournament.
This fee cannot be partially charge it is a set price.
If I opt out from a Satellite Singlet do I stil pay $40?
The $40 fee is a compulsory fee regardless if you receive an singlet. For all new registrants will receive a free singlet. A free singlet is issued every 2 years. You can choose to purchase a singlet if your child has outgrown their last years one.
How will I know if a session is cancelled? And what will happen with the cancelled session?
