FEES - Can be found here along with other Important Information. 2022 FEES
All Registrations and Payments are now exclusively performed through our website. There are no physical sign on events planned for 2022.
A minimum deposit of 30% is required to secure registrations for MiniRoos and Divisional positions at the time of registration.
Due to challenges last year in collecting some outstanding fees we have introduced a 'No Pay No Play' policy in 2022. Players must be fully paid or have commenced an approved payment plan, through our website, before the first round of the season. If you are not fully financial or have not had a payment plan approved by this point you may not be allowed to play, and your place may be given to another player on a waiting list.
Volunteer Discount – Junior Teams
To increase volunteer participation within the Club and to reward the efforts of those volunteers we are introducing a Registration Discount in 2022.
A 50% reduction in fees (in the form of a rebate) will be applicable to the registration of one child or a family member of:
- Coaching or Team Manager Volunteers
- Committee Members
- Fundraising or Carnival Coordinators
- Other significant Volunteer contributions to the Club decided at the Clubs discretion

Returning Little Rippers Discount
Returning Little Rippers who have previously completed our Introductory Kick Off Program are eligible for a $25 rebate on registration fees. We do keep records of our Little Rippers however it can't hurt to remind us in the Registration Notes.

2022 Teams Structure
In 2022 Football Queensland are adopting the Football Australia naming conventions for the three tiers of MiniRoos teams. They are now:
Quokka – Formally Gecko – Entry Level
Wallaby – Formally Goanna – General Level
Kangaroo – Formally Komodo – Advanced Level
In 2022 we are aiming to field teams in the following age groups:
U6 – U12 MiniRoos
U9 and U10 will Include 1 Kangaroo Team per age group*
U13 + – Junior Divisional **
Men - FQPL 4
Men - Metro League Divisions TBC
Women - Metro League – Divisions TBC*
** Players born in 2009 are now eligible for U13 Junior Divisional Teams not MiniRoos. Please be aware that these teams play on Sundays not Saturdays.
Our ability to field teams in Under 13 and higher Junior Divisional Teams is dependent on registration numbers. If we do not attract enough players in a particular age bracket by January 17th the registration will be closed and all deposits paid will be refunded.
Trials for Advanced Teams
Nominations for U9 and U10 Kangaroo Teams will be requested at the point of registration and Grading will be conducted during the first few weeks of training in 2022. There is a new drop down box for Under 9 and 10 registration page to indicate if you would like to trial for Kangaroo Level.
If players are not successful in being placed in a Kangaroo Team they will be allocated to either Quokka or Wallaby team after that point.
Under 13 and up grading will be conducted over a 4 week period prior to the Easter School Holidays. Results will be reviewed, and Teams graded into 1 of 8 playing divisions with Division 1 being the highest. The exact starting date of these Grading rounds will be communicated in early 2022.
Kangaroo Level and Junior Divisional Teams will be provided with Numbered Playing Jersey's for use on game days and will remain the property of the Club.
Training and Season Commencement Dates
Training Divisional Teams (U13+) and Seniors will commence in March with exact dates to be communicated via E-Mail.
MiniRoos Under 6 to 12 will commence Training on week commencing 7th of March 2022.
