We Support
The Club Executive Committee has thoroughly reviewed the Club’s finances to arrive at the current season’s fee structure. We understand that Water polo is not a cheap sport, and we try hard to keep our costs down. We hope you understand we are a non-profit organisation run by volunteers.
In addition to this, we are looking for sponsorship, applying for sports grants, and hoping to run more fundraising activities in the near future to contribute further to keeping costs down.
There are two components to water polo fees:
1. WPA and WPNSW Capitation Fees
2. Rays Club Member Registration Fee
Water Polo NSW (WPNSW) & Water Polo Australia (WPA) Fees - known as capitation fees are set independently of the club. These fees are a fixed component of the registration fee and are an annual membership fee. The fees cover the governance required as part of the club’s incorporation, insurance, sports development programs, and system administration.
