Registration process

STEP 1: Hockey NT and Hockey Australia fees

Hockey Australia (HA) and Hockey NT (HNT) charge all players a levy, these are mandatory amounts required by the regulatory bodies.

These fees are separate from WHC fees and are required at time of registration.

The HNT/HA fees are:

  • $110.43 for a senior player (including casual players)
  • $58.59 for a junior player
  • FREE for Social Membership (Non-Player)

You MUST be registered to play hockey with our club prior to playing any games. Please use the registration link above.


STEP 2: If you are a player transferring from another club

If you are transferring from another club, you are required to have a transfer request approved by your existing club.

Transfer requests are included in the registration process, please ensure all details are entered correctly.

Players without an approved transfer are not permitted to play and further financial and competition point penalties may apply.


STEP 3: Waratah Hockey Club fees

Waratah’s offer some of the most competitive fees in the Darwin Hockey League to promote social inclusion and accessibility across the community.

We’re able to do this through the hard work of volunteers, fundraising efforts, and the generous support of sponsors.

The club’s fees in 2024 are set out below:

Please note: The club fees cover the minor rounds only (i.e. games 1 - 15). For teams that make the finals series, additional fees may apply.

Notes

  1. Current evidence of fulltime student status must be provided to the club at the time of registration. Please email treasurer@waratahhockeyclub.com.
  2. When a junior plays 3 or more games in senior teams, they are classified as a ‘junior playing seniors’. Players attending high school that are not eligible for the junior competition are classified as a ‘junior playing seniors’ for the purpose of fees.
  3. Any new junior player to WHC will receive their first game shirt free of charge.
  4. In addition to a game shirt, new U8s members will receive a hockey starter stick pack, which generally includes a stick, ball and shin guards.
  5. Casual players will be entitled to play 5 games for the club with their initial fee. After a player has played 5 casual games, they will be regarded as a ‘senior player’ and will be required to pay full fees.
  6. Casual players that are fulltime tertiary students must pay $25/game. The player must ensure they have the required clearances to play in the NT, before they take the field, if they are registered in an inter-state club.
  7. Social Member is for everyone who wants to be involved in the club and stay up to date with all our news and events. We encourage anyone not playing to register as a social member as this membership class helps us record our supporter reach and increases grant and other funding opportunities. Registration for a social member is completed the same as a playing member via the link. Social members do not have umpiring commitments.
  8. There are no family or other discounts available in 2024.

Umpiring commitment

Clubs are responsible for supplying umpires for B and C Grade games. All WHC members registered with a Senior Player Membership are required to fulfil an assigned umpiring commitment, excluding coaches, managers, committee members and life members.

An umpiring roster will be published on our website. There is no payment offered by Waratah’s for umpiring.

Members must fulfil the umpiring commitment themselves or arrange for someone else. (If the member arranges someone else, the decision to pay them a fee or not is an entirely private one and the club will not be held liable for any payments).

If the member, or the person they arranged to umpire on their behalf, do not show up to umpire the scheduled game, the member will be responsible for any fine issued by HNT. As well as this, failure to supply an umpire has implications for competition points and HNT may deduct points from teams. For example, if a Waratah’s umpire does not show up for a B Grade Women’s game, the Waratah’s B Grade Women’s team can lose competition points.
