Registration Fees for 2025 

Link to Rego Fees 2025

Financial Hardship – We appreciate that there may be individuals or families that are experiencing hard times due to lost income due to the pandemic. The Rovers Committee would not want people to drop out of sport because they are in such a predicament. If you are indeed experiencing such a hardship, we request you to communicate directly with the President, Secretary or Registrar for their consideration of hardship assistance to allow you to play sport. Such a call to either of these people will be kept strictly confidential. No one outside this circle will know of any arrangements that we may make.

Dependent Family Discount Claim BEFORE Registering – All families (defined as ‘one or two parents/legal guardians and their dependent children’) with three or more players registering to play with Rovers may receive a $30 Family Discount per player if all the players register by the 9th February 2025.  

Dependent children must be born in 2007 or later.  In cases which do not fit these general criteria, the Rovers Committee will consider approving the Family Discount on a case-by-case basis.

Note that players claiming a ‘Life Member Discount’ may not claim the Family Discount for themselves.  However, they may be counted as part of a family to allow the other family members to claim their Family Discount. For example, if a life member’s two children also play for the Rovers, he/she can claim a ‘Life Member Discount’ and $60 Family Discount.

Please send your application for the Family Discount (or any other enquiries) by email to the Rovers Registrar Steven Aquel:  registrar@roversfc.com.au  BEFORE you commence Registering any family members.  The email MUST include the full names (including surnames) of the family members playing for the Rovers in 2025.
