Tinks, I'd be double checking about the netball registrations - Netball rego is a bastard of a thing. You pay so much money because you come under the governing body for your state - so for me it's Netball NSW, for you its Netball Victoria and they cover all your insurance etc, not your actual club/league that you play for. BUT if you have already paid the full amount for one competition and you are still registered with Netball Vic, then if you play in a second comp during the same year, then technically you don't pay as much as your registration is still valid with Netball Vic. In our Club, we are affiliated with netball NSW, and our annual registration is $60 per junior, and $50 of that goes to Netball NSW. If they are already registered with them through the local town competition, then their rego fees with us are only $10, as they are already registered with Netball NSW. Clear as mud for you? So if they are hitting you up for the full amount again for netball, I'd be asking them why that is, because it shouldn't be that much.

But the cricket is a totally bloody rort and I'd be asking them why it is so much and what exactly does it cover. That just sounds too much considering that they are paying ball fees each week and more than likely he has his own bat that he uses.

It costs me $115 per year for two girls to play netball and a son to play football. When we did little A's it was under $150 per season for the three of them.
