Welcome to Hale Season 2025
Registration 2025 – Major Changes
Please read below for detailed information on registration. For those familiar with registration, major changes for 2025 are:
FEE CHANGES:
We have benchmarked the cost that each team incurs to the club and the fees charged to players in those teams. As a result we are pleased to make some fee reductions in certain categories. This includes Senior Grass (now only $250 including kit + HA Fee); Midweek masters (now only $350 + HA Fee) and Hockey Heroes(PP -YR2) (now only $75 plus HA Fee). All other payment classes have been increased in line with local inflation rates.
Hockey Australia have raised levies to $68.79 for senior players and $56.81 for junior players. These changes are shown in your registration fees.
ONLINE PAYMENT PLANS.
You can now set up a payment plan to be manged through this registration software. If you would like to have a payment plan for your club fees, please register and select Hockey WA Junior Player Levy or Hockey WA Senior Player Levy as appropriate, and then email the registrar to request a payment plan (registrar@halehockey.com.au). You will be sent an invoice for 4 monthly installments. This option is only available for registrations until Monday 3rd March. First payments will be due immediately.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE
Registration fees will increase by $200 for seniors and $100 for juniors from Monday 3rd March. Please register immediately to secure your spot in a team.
DISCOUNT CODES
Goalkeepers with their own kit should apply to the registrar for a discount code at registrar@halehockey.com.au
JUNIORS PLAYING SENIORS
All juniors must register in their age group. If you would like to play senior hockey as well in 2025 please mark the appropriate checkbox during registration. Juniors looking to play in senior teams must be available for relevant selection and pre season training. Juniors that are selected to play in senior teams will then be sent a relevant fee for the competition in which they are selected.
Registration General Details
Hale Hockey Club welcomes hockey players of all ages and abilities. Our Junior girls and boys teams range from Kindergarten to Yr 11/12’s (U/18’s), and our Senior teams range from Masters (O/35, O/40, O/50 & O/60) to competitive Premier 1 teams.
Registration for Hockey WA and Hale will be done together on this site, which is also used to manage the seasons' competitions, results and statistics. If you have any questions please contact the registrar - registrar@halehockey.com.au .
An explanation of the HA levy increase is here: HA Levy information
CLUB FEES
In the recent club survey most members said they would prefer yearly fee increases in line with CPI. Unfortunately CPI rose significantly in 2023, and as a result club fees have had to rise by about 4%.
Pre-Primary, 1/2s and 3/4s
In 2024 all players in Pre-Primary, 1/2s and 3/4s will have to pay a $22.81 "Hookin2Hockey" levy to Hockey Australia.
Our program for PP-Year 2 this year is Hockey Heroes. It's a 12-week program designed to introduce young players to hockey and build their fundamental hockey skills. It has a new hockey-focused curriculum, and coaching by Premier League players. Sessions run on the Hale turf from 4:15 - 5:15 on Friday afternoons, starting in early May.
For players in Year 3 & 4 we have Hockey Nines. This is an introduction to competitive hockey suitable for beginners and experienced players alike. Training is on Friday afternoons on the grass at the rear of the club, and games are on Saturday mornings at Perry Lakes Reserve.
First year playing Seniors
To encourage players who have just finished school to play Senior hockey we have introduced a "Yr 13" rate, where the fees for first-year Seniors are the same as Yr 11/12 Juniors. This does not apply to Premier League players. Premier League players in their first year out of Juniors can register as a Uni Student even if they are not attending university.
DISCOUNTS
Discounts from the Hale fees are available only as outlined below. Please contact registrar@halehockey.com.au before you start registering to get the discount code to be used. Discount codes must be used at registration and will not be issued after registration is completed.
KidSport
Hale is an approved KidSport club. KidSport enables eligible children to participate in community sport by offering financial assistance of up to $300 per year towards club fees. To find out if your child is eligible for this funding, please visit the KidSport page on the DLGSC website. If your KidSport voucher is approved, you will receive an email with a unique validation code for the voucher. This must be sent to registrar@halehockey.com.au to enable the club to claim the money from the Council.
Family Discount
There is a revised Family Discount for this season. If you have 3 or more Junior players from the same family then the 3rd (and subsequent) Junior is eligible for a 30% discount. Please apply the discount code Juniors3+ on page 4 when registering the youngest player(s).
FIFO
If you are a FIFO worker who is away from Perth and unavailable for some games please contact registrar@halehockey.com.au to see if you are eligible for a discount.
ADD-ONS
Volunteer Donations
In the 2021 club survey 70% of members said they would volunteer to help the club save costs. We are trying to keep fees as low as possible and are relying on volunteers to do this. If you are part of the 30% that would rather pay higher fees than volunteer, your donation will be greatly appreciated and you can sit back with clear conscience as the season unfolds 😊.
If you are happy to volunteer and not donate simply press “Next step”.
Note: The total amount on the payment page includes a fee of 2.0% + $1.60 charged by RevoSport. Again, this is not controllable by Hale Hockey Club. VISA or Mastercard only, AMEX is not accepted.
Refunds
Requests for refunds must be made to the Registrar in writing, and will be considered according to the circumstances. The club is sympathetic to season ending injuries and players that move away. Players that apply for a refund as they are unhappy with team selections will be charged for pre season and 50% of the season cost.
Important – if you played at another Hockey WA club last season and are registering with Hale as a new club, please use Returning Member. The system considers you as returning to HockeyWA.
If you receive an error message preventing you from proceeding with the renewal of your membership, please contact registrar@halehockey.com.au.
