WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF PLAYERS

Following the final registration information day (10^th February) if there are any age groups that do not meet the required minimum number of players to nominate a team, the club will assess the situation and then proceed as follows:

1. Contact Newcastle Football to follow up potential players left over from other clubs
2. Advertise through the local schools
3. Advertise on our website, Facebook page, and if required the local newspaper
4. In some instances, if there are players from a lower age group that want to play up an age group then this option will be investigated also

If the club still can’t meet the minimum number of players required or has any reservations that an age group may have difficulties fielding a team for the season, the Club will make direct contact with each of the players that have registered in that age group and offer them a refund. This will be done as early as possible to allow these players the option of looking to alternate clubs.
