Playing With Friends

Registering as a team allows you to manage who plays each week on your team. Your team payment covers the registration and insurance of any players you add to your team so long as you register them through your online team roster.

Secure your Team Spot

Once a team has registered they have secured their spot in the upcoming competition. When competitions sell out and reach capacity, the teams that have registered first and the earliest will secure the limited remaining spots in the competition. Sign up your team early to get the best chance of playing.

Payment Options

Your team payment fee covers all your team costs for the playing season. Your team will need to make a payment for each competition they wish to play in.

1. Upfront

Gather up the full fee amount for your team and pay in full when you register your team into a competition.

2. Shared Payments

Teams can select to have their team fee split amongst all players on a team.

The organizer pays the team deposit fee and registers the team.
The organizer can then add players to the team they wish to split the payment with or share an invite link for their teammates to join.
The spilt payment value will change as players are added or leave the team list.
Email reminders will automatically be sent out to each of the players on a team advising them of the shared cost for their team that they must pay. The team organizer will also be advised of any players that still have not registered their credit card details for their shared contribution.
On the day registrations close all players listed on the team will be charged their share of the remaining team cost.
If the organisers share is less then the deposit paid they will automatically be refunded this difference.
Any fees from unsuccessful card transactions will be charged to the organizer.
An administration fee is applied to each player that the payment is spilt with.

Questions and assitance regarding shared payments can be directed to the admin team at socialsport@griffith.edu.au.
