FEES

As always, we try and offset as much of the fees as possible!

The fees you pay go almost exclusively to Auckland Hockey for their management and running of the competitions, supply of umpires and the rental of turf time on game day. A little more is collected to cover any turf time for trainings that we can't get funding for.

PAYMENT POLICIES

Auckland Hockey deadlines

Auckland Hockey set us deadlines for payments and as such, we need to ensure we've collected the required funds to pay those fees. These are why our no-pay no-play and late fees exist. Please ensure you've made plans for your fees so we can pass those on for you

Full Fees Due ASAP

For those unable to pay up-front, please remember that there is an Automatic Payment option for members in good standing. If you would prefer this, please contact your Club Captains to come up with a plan A $25 late fee for Juniors or $50 for Youth and older will apply if you have not paid by mid-May or set up an Automatic Payment

No-Pay No-Play Policy

We will be enforcing a No-Pay, No-Play policy from the first game of the season. This means, if you haven't paid your fees or arranged an Automatic Payment, you will need to refrain from playing until arrangements have been made. This is in line with Auckland Hockey's deadline structure
