Below you will find the training program schedule for Term 1 as well as the pricing structure for each age group.  Your child has the option of training once per week or twice per week. (We recommend 2 sessions per week for those looking to play in our competitive league squads)

Below you will find the Term 1 schedule and pricing structure.  For Term 1, we will offer a 15 week program.

The following section will give our staff information on how to best accommodate your child during their time with us.

We offer a sibling discount of 15% (If you are registering a sibling/siblings, please complete separate forms for each child).  The purpose of the following questions are just so we can link them with their sibling so that we can apply the discount). 

Registration

1. In order to register, players must complete and submit this registration form provided by the Academy.

2. Term payment must be made prior to the beginning of week 2 / or within 7 days of registering for those who join the term late. If payment has not been received by the mentioned dates, players are not permitted to join training until this is completed.

3. Once a child has registered, they are responsible to fulfil their practice schedule for the term.  If a player cannot make a session, they are not eligible for a refund or credit for any missed sessions.  The only exception would be a long term sickness/injury, which would require a note from the child's doctor.

Uniforms

1. It is Desert Thistle FC policy that all registered players must purchase the uniform package. As a part of the uniform package, players will receive:

   • 1 Uniform (Shirt, Shorts, Socks)

   • Training Bag

   • 1/4 Zip Training Top

2. Players are required to wear their uniform to all practices and training sessions.

League Participation

1. For those teams participating in league competition, participating players will be billed separately, prior to the league beginning in late September.
2. Coaches will structure their teams in each age group in alignment with their player evaluations to ensure that each child is placed at the appropriate level. Please note that the following components will be taken into consideration for match/league selection:
   • Attendance at practices
   • Attitude & application at practice
   • Skill and ability
   • This does not apply to U8 festivals as all players will be selected
3. Coaches will send out a squad availability message via the team WhatsApp group by Wednesday and parents have until Friday evening to respond with their child’s availability. Coaches will then inform all families via WhatsApp group of matchday selection by Friday evening.

Thank you for completing our registration form. You can now press submit and a member of our team will contact you shortly with further information.  If you have any further questions regarding the Term 1 program, please contact info@desertthistlefc.com
