Cost
– $10 per week, paid as an upfront $80 registration fee (similar to our Lightning Roster).
– If your division has a bye, the equivalent in court gees will be available to your team as a credit which can be used to purchase shuttles.

– Teams will be required to arrange their own shuttles (noting that the only STBA authorised brand and model are Aeroplane Back 51 speed). The specific arrangements for this will be left to the discretion of your team captain – some teams may request a few dollars each week, while others may ask for $20 at the start of the roster. Please bring along some money on your first week just in case
– For junior players, ‘Ticket to Play’ can be used for this roster, please send an email to [email protected] with the relevant health care card details and the Ticket to play voucher code and we will facilitate the payment.

Grading

You aren’t required to attend grading night if you’ve previously played in our lightning competition or have an approved exemption. If you’re unsure as to whether you need to attend grading, please let us know in the comments and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
