Summer 2020/21 Metro Competition Format
Published Mon 14 Sep 2020
Dear Rays
After such a tough year for us all, it's very exciting for the boys that the summer season is almost upon us! The Rays is a community and more than just a club sport with teams. We are here to meet and make new friends as well as be part of something that has so many benefits to our physical and mental well-being which is so important at this time.
Don't forget that registrations are due this Friday 18th September as we have to submit team numbers to WPNSW by the end of this week. If you did not get the registration email the details can be found here https://www.sydneyrays.co
While WPNSW was looking at changing the format of the competition it has been decided that it was not ideal in light of current circumstances so the season will run on a similar format to previous seasons of a single game every week except for U12 which will play 2 games in the weeks indicated.
Summer 2020/21 Metro Competition
What to expect this season
- The season will operate in two halves: Spring session 13 October to 13 Dec 2020 and Summer session 28 Jan to 28 March 2021.
- Initial games to be between local clubs to reduce travel ie Rays vs SNB
- Weekly games for Juniors on Sunday and Opens on Tuesday night.

The format for the Jan-April Session in 2021 will be released towards the end of the year and probably be a similar format to above. It will recommence on Sunday 31 January and go through to Sunday 28th March.
Fees
Please note the registration fee you are paying is for the entire spring/summer season (Oct-April) with no extra costs. In following with our promise of transparency to members we have decided to be upfront in our charges with you. Some clubs have elected to split the cost and charge in separate parts and also charge a “training levy” for the 2nd training session (in U14 and U16). In the event of the season being cancelled due to COVID we will endeavor to refund a portion of your Club fee or credit towards the following season.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at president@sydneyrays.com
Kind regards,
Natasha Rowe
