CLUB POLICY

FINANCIAL POLICY

 

Registered Players
 

To be considered as a Registered Player for the Mountain Tigers Basketball Club Inc, each player must pay their seasonal fees. Payment of seasonal fees (Summer/Winter Season) defines a player as being financial.

​

A financial player will then be selected or allocated to a team based on Mountain Tigers Basketball Club team selection policy.

​

Fees

​

The Mountain Tigers committee shall review and set upcoming registration fees for each season.

​

Existing and new players will pay the respective season fee at time of registration for the current season.

​​

Payment

​

A player to be considered financial for an upcoming season must complete payment by or on Registration Day.

​​

Failing to meet this payment date means a player will not be selected for next season until payment for previous and current season have been made in full prior to player being placed in a team.

​

If player wishes to transfer to another club outstanding fees must be paid before Mountain Tigers Basketball Club grants clearance.

​
