Juvenile & family registration

We will host a juvenile and family registration morning next Saturday morning, 24th February, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the club rooms at Fay Park in Ballyjamesduff. Our teams age grades have been revised this year to reflect the change in age grades introduced at county level. The U7 Rahan Raiders (formerly U6s) will now be our youngest group. To be eligible to register children must turn 5 or older this year (i.e. born in 2013 or before). Welcome to register on the day will be: boys from U7 to Minor grades i.e. born in the years 2000 to 2013 and girls at U7 and U9 grades i.e. born in the years 2009 to 2013 (girls born in the years before 2009 should register with the ladies club - Castlerahan Denn). Registration for the year will cost €90 per family (which includes full membership for two parents/guardians and two children under 18 years of age) and €10 for each subsequent child or, if not availing of family membership, €20 for each individual child. The €2 subscription for age grades U7, U9 and U11 will continue this year. It will now be a capped fee and an option to pay upfront at a reduced rate has been introduced. This will be explained in greater detail on the morning. This subscription for our U7, U9 and U11 teams goes towards use of the astro turf, school gym, refreshments after Go-Games and either a kit/club gear or activity towards the end of the season. All money raised by this subscription is spent on the teams from which it is generated. Looking forward to seeing new and old players next Saturday morning!
