Registrations: Registrations are now closed
Please note: All late registrations/late payments or manual registrations may incur an administration fee.
Kingsway School has a user pays policy for all sports. This means ALL fees must be paid prior to commencement of competition or play, unless an AP has been arranged with the sports department. Please e-mail sportadmin@kingstatic.allteams.dev if you would like to set up such a payment. The Summer Footy charge includes:
Club Fees, Administration fee, Teacher in Charge of Sport costs.
Refunds:
Students will not be permitted to be placed in a team unless they have registered and paid or paid their deposit & started making AP payments first.
If a student doesn’t make a side due to lack of numbers to make a complete team, their fees will be reimbursed, however, fees will not be reimbursed to students who don’t make their choice of team in their chosen code or who no longer want to play and who then choose to withdraw. Once the teams are made up, if a child pulls out it can leave a team short, cause players to be swapped about in teams and a lot of work administratively both at school and at association level.
Exceptional circumstances – If games are cancelled due to extreme circumstances e.g. Covid we will refund any money we receive back from the sporting organisations and any costs not already paid out at the KingsWay end.
