Fees/Payments

This section contains information about what subs are used for, how much they are and how to pay your subs.

About Our Subs

UC Hockey is funded by a mixture of player subs, funding from charitable trusts and fundraising by the club. Our subs mainly cover costs associated directly with each player such as

• Affiliation to the Canterbury Hockey Association (CHA)
• Affiliation to the NZ Hockey Federation (NZHF)
• Turf Fees for practices and matches

Other costs such as playing equipment are funded through grants from charitable trusts while these trusts also often subsidize turf hire as well.

We strive to keep subs as low as possible by sourcing as much funding as possible externally allowing more people in Canterbury to enjoy hockey however, as a great proportion of our fees are paid directly to the CHA and NZHF and are charged on a ‘per-player’ basis, there is a limit to how low we can set fees.

How much does it cost?

Subs for the season are usually set in February/March. As a guide, the 2011 subs were as follows:

• $330 per season for regular members
• $385 per season for Premier (Div 1) members  - this reflects the extra training time necessary

Payment Regimes

The UC Hockey Club prefers all subs to be paid in one lump sum no later than one month (30 days) following the invoice date.

The club also offers payment by installments for those players who struggle to pay in one go. Payment of the full subs can be spread over 5 months from the invoice date.

Penalty fees apply for late payments – payment terms and penalty rates are published on your invoice.

Payment Methods

All accounts owing to the club should be paid using internet banking. We recommend setting up an automatic payment when paying in installments to avoid forgetting to pay manually each month. You must include your member number (on your invoice) in the ‘Reference’ field of the payment so that it can be processed automatically by our database software.
