Competitive teams

To be part of our competitive teams your athlete must be able to meet the specified criteria for their selected division. This will be decided at try-outs and we will place each athlete in the most suitable team for their skill set.

Your athlete must be available to attend all of the dates in the competition schedule that will be provided and they must be available for any last minute training sessions or guest coaches.

Event producers do not provide running orders until closer to the event so we cannot confirm what days you will perform but will pass this information out as soon as we are aware. Competition days can start early morning and run to late evening. Athletes may participate on more than one day depending on team placement or event/competition.

In addition to training and competition entry you should take in account additional travel and spectator tickets costs required to attend competitions. Spectator ticket details will be announced when we are provided with the information.

Being part of a competitive team is an amazing experience for both the athletes and the parents. We pride ourselves on having a really close team bond and this is particularly clear at competitions with the support shown towards everyone.
