Payment Options
We hope to make this season as memorable as possible for you and your children.
As a not-for-profit organization, our fees are set on a cost-recovery basis.
We offer a variety of different methods of payment to choose from including monthly installment payments.
The easiest and most convenient way to register is by using our online system which allows you to pay for the entire program/season at once.
Monthly installments are withdrawn on/around an agreed date from our Office Administration staff and may be adjusted accordingly to support the needs of our families. Example: Player fees for the entire season are paid overtime within 2, 3, or additional months.

Financial Assistance and Subsidy Programs
KidSport - Jumpstart
Although we try to assist our members with these subsidy programs, all families must complete the applications on behalf of their child/children and provide all of the financial documents required.
We cannot process your registration without them.
To avoid any delay with registration and to ensure that your child can participate in all activities, families are responsible to pay any balance not covered by the subsidy. This balance is due at the time of registration in full or through a payment installment plan.
Once your subsidy is awarded, you will receive notice directly from the program.
If you receive less than anticipated, the family is responsible to pay any remaining balance.
In this situation, please contact the Club directly to make payment arrangements.
Families applying for Kidsport and/or Jumpstart must register between January-November.
We encourage everyone to apply at the start of each season/new year to allow for processing time.
