Why Early Acceptance?
Early Acceptance gives eligible existing Cove FC players the opportunity to secure their place at the Club for the 2027 season before October player intake begins. It helps families plan ahead and allows the Club to commence planning teams, coaches, facilities and programme requirements with greater certainty.
What does Early Acceptance guarantee?
Early Acceptance secures your place at The Cove FC for the 2027 season. It does not guarantee selection in a particular team, competition or playing level.
- U8-U11: Kangaroo Team selection will be determined through the October Kangaroo Team Assessment process.
- U12-U13: YPL Team selection will be determined through the October YPL Trial process.
- If an Early Acceptance player is not selected for a Kangaroo or YPL Team, their place at The Cove FC remains secured within another suitable team.
A $100 non-refundable deposit is payable on completion of this form.
The $100 Early Acceptance Deposit confirms your commitment to play at The Cove FC in 2027 and allows the Club to commence planning for the season.
The deposit forms part of your 2027 registration payments and will be credited against the amount payable for the season. It is not an additional fee.
The deposit remains non-refundable if a player subsequently:
· Changes their mind or chooses another club.
· Decides not to participate in the 2027 season.
· Is not selected for a Kangaroo Team.
· Is not selected for a YPL/YCC Team.
· Does not receive their preferred team placement.
Early Acceptance secures a place at The Cove FC - not a particular team.
