Junior Registration
This year, we’ve introduced an adjusted fee structure that better reflects the age group of football your child is playing in. As your child moves through the age groups, more resources are put into maximising their development, with a reduction in roles being fulfilled by the parent group. These include coaching and training equipment, physical/medical support, and paid umpires in games, which will be reflected in the fee structure going forward.
For 2025, registration fees (inclusive of SMJFL League fee) are:
Under 8 – Under 10: $298 Earlybird before February 17/ $308 after February 17
Under 11 – Under 13: $318 Earlybird before February 17/ $328 after February 17
Under 14 – Under 17.5: $348 Earlybird before February 17/ $358 after February 17
As well as earlybird savings, we also offer a 10% sibling discount for families with more than one child playing at SBMT (off either the earlybird or regular fee).
We will communicate with existing SBMT players the registration renewal process via TeamApp. If you have any questions, please contact the SBMT Junior Registrar.
Player registrations in SBMT are subject to your acceptance of our Code of Conduct for players and parents. You should take the time to read and understand our Code of Conduct before registering.
Additional player information can be accessed here.
Registrations for new and players transferring from other clubs will open late January.
