Registration Fee Guidelines

1. Overview of Fees

Registration fees for the season are payable directly to the Weston Creek Woden Dodgers Basketball Club before the season starts. These fees cover:

• Team registration fees.

• Training costs (including court hire).

• Club operational costs (e.g., presentation nights, coach training, player support, audits).

In addition to the club’s fees, there is a separate registration fee charged by Basketball ACT. This covers:

• Player insurance.

• Basketball Australia development fee.

Full details of the insurance coverage are available on the Basketball ACT website. This fee is paid directly to Basketball ACT during the registration process.

Payment Platform: All fees are collected via the PlayHQ platform provided by Basketball ACT. Please note that payments made through PlayHQ are subject to an administration fee.

2. Financial Support and Strategies

We understand basketball can be an expensive sport, so the Dodgers have implemented a few strategies to help manage costs for our members:

• Minimizing costs: We work hard to keep club fees as low as possible. Our finances are open for review by any member, and detailed financial results are shared at our Annual General Meeting. A breakdown of how fees are spent for each season is also provided.

• Payment Instalments: To reduce the upfront financial burden, members can apply to pay fees in equal instalments throughout the season.

• Volunteer Discounts: To recognize the invaluable contributions of our volunteers, we offer discounts for those in volunteer roles. Discounts can accumulate if you hold multiple volunteer positions.

3. Volunteer Discounts

The following discounts are available for volunteers:

• Team Coaches: $50.00 per team, per season.

• Age Group Coordinators: $50.00 per season.

• Committee Members: $50.00 per season.

These discounts are a way to thank individuals who dedicate their time to support the club. 

To receive your discount, you will  be provided with a discount code before registrations open for the season following your coaching role.

4. Refunds

Refunds will not be issued for a change of mind or incorrect decisions. Refunds will only be considered under extenuating circumstances and are at the discretion of the Dodgers Committee.

If approved, refunds will be processed minus a 5% admin fee. All refund requests must be submitted in writing to wcwdregistrar@gmail.com.

5. Disputes
