2027 Season

Retention and Player Offers

Each year coaches complete a mid-season and end of season player assessments to provide feedback to players about their strengths and areas for further improvement.  The end of season coach assessment is also used as the basis for determining which players will automatically be retained for the following year and which players will need to attend trials and compete for their spot in a team.  

The club aims to retain approximately 80% of players each year, demonstrating a firm commitment to the long-term development of players.   At the same time however, the club recognises that new players must also be afforded the opportunity to be selected. 

Current SWQ Thunder FC players that are automatically retained will receive a player offer through Majestri. Current SWQ Thunder FC players who are not automatically retained for the following year are invited and encouraged to attend trials.

Payment Methods

Players/parents are required to pay club registration fees to secure their place in a team.  Players can either:

  • Pay club registration fees up front and in full at time of accepting a player offer; OR
  • Pay the deposit and set up a payment plan through Majestri for the remainder of player registration fees

Failure to pay in full or set up a payment plan will mean that your player has not yet accepted their place in a team and their place may be offered to a shadow player.  

PAYMENT PLANS
Parents can set up a payment plans for player registration fees through Majestri.  A 20% up-front non-refundable deposit payment is required when setting up a payment plan. The remaining amount can be paid off on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis by 31st May 2027. 

Parents are charged a fee by Majestri for each direct debit payment made and the club is also charged a percentage of the value of each payment. To reduce costs, the club prefers that parents make payment in full wherever possible. 

Majestri payment plans are the only payment plans accepted by the club. The club does not accept regular scheduled payments direct from parents’ bank accounts as this creates significant additional workload for our (volunteer) Treasurer to keep track of these commitments and payments.

Clothing cannot be included in payment plans and must be paid in full before clothing will be issued to players.

FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES
Parents experiencing financial difficulties should email registrar@swqthunder.com to outline your circumstances and request an extension to pay your deposit or alternative payment arrangements. This is critical to secure your child’s place in team.

Families/players who are experiencing financial difficulties may also apply for a player scholarship or arrange a business sponsorshipby the offer expiry date to secure their place in the team,

Players Trialling at Other FQ Academy Clubs

All players who receive an offer to play with SWQ Thunder FC are required to either pay club registration fees in full or pay the 20% deposit and set up a payment plan to secure their place in the team. 

Players intending to trial at other FQ Academy clubs must accept their SWQ Thunder FC offer and make payment as outlined above to secure their place in their respective SWQ Thunder FC team.  If you do not accept your offer and make payment as as outlined above, your place may be given to a shadow player. 

If you are selected and accept a position in a higher FQ Academy league team at another FQ Academy club, you will be eligible to receive a refund of 2027 fees paid less $200, which will be retained by the club as a non-refundable part of the deposit. Proof of selection in a higher league team is required to be eligible for a refund.
