FEE INFORMATION

All Divisions
$360
Blue Jays Netball Club has maintained consistent pricing for the last four years even with continued increases in insurance fees from Netball Queensland.  Insurance from Netball Queensland increased again in 2023 and Blue Jays have increased fees by $10 to maintain the Blue Jays fee portion.  

  • Payment plans are available with prior approval from the Treasurer only through Blue Jays only and NOT NetballConnect.
  • PLEASE NOTE: the final payment date is 2 April 2023.  Players who have not paid their fees by this date will not be permitted to take the court. 

PAYMENT PLANS ARE AVAILABLE

Members can access payment plans only through the Club Treasurer (Christina Leo-Smith) by emailing treasurer@bluejaysnetball.com

You must be pre-approved for a payment plan before completing your registration/s.

There is no option to utilise payment plans through NetballConnect due to previous issues with payment finalisation. 

Pre-approved members will input a single use discount code at the checkout when registering in NetballConnect which will result in a nil payment. The single use discount code will be provided by the Treasurer once approved for payment plan.  Payment timeframes will be set with the treasurer and payments must be complete prior to 2 April 2023. Incomplete payments will result in players not being able to take the court.
