2010 Playing Costs have not been set
The costs of participation for 2009 were as follows. Both Auskick (Under9) and Juniors will have a registration cost of $70. With Auskick the cost includes the Auskick pack provided by the AFL - Details available here

During registration the Club will provide the opportunity to purchase socks & shorts at bulk purchase costs. The prices for shorts and socks are considered bargain prices if you try and purchase locally and was undertaken due to the difficulty obtaining locally and to keep the team presentation uniform for our competition games.

The $70 registration fee covers the cost of League affiliation fees, Insurance, playing guernseys, playing and training equipment and council fees for use of grounds. As an indication the cost per player in 2007 was $79 making the support we receive from our sponsors and our fundraising activities so essential. Please support them whereever possible
