The WBA children’s competition is based on six age groups – Under 8, Under 10, Under 12, Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18.

To qualify for a particular age group a player must be under the age of that group as at 31st December of the previous year for the Winter season, and as at 30th June of the current year for the Summer season.

For example, to play Under 14’s in the 2015 Winter season the player must be 13 or younger on the 31st December 2014. To play Under 14’s in the 2015 Summer season the player must be 13 or younger on the 30th June 2015.

Fees are assessed prior to the start of each new season and reflect the cost of insurance, coaching, court hire, player registration, match costs and administration.

Fees are detailed on the Registration and Fees page:

As a non-profit community organisation we keep fees as low as we can. A discount applies for multiple players from the one family. Players will not be placed in a team until fees have been paid.

The Team Manager is one of the most important positions in the Club as they enable the smooth functioning of the team during the season.

Parents are encouraged to volunteer to be a Team Manager by indicating it on their child’s season registration form.

If no volunteers are forthcoming for a particular team the Club will arbitrarily appoint one or more families to take on the role or to find a replacement.

A document outlining the duties of the Team Manager can be downloaded here.
