Membership Age Grades for Players
Player registrations for all divisions are accepted
on the basis of the age as at December 31st of the registration
year.
All players must be registered in their respective age
grade. No exceptions will be made. This does not prevent them from
playing in higher age grades only, with the relevant documentation.
If there are enough teams to have both an AA and A Division
in any grade, they will operate under the same contact / non-contact
rules.
Female players are eligible to play in the Midget and
Bantam age grades.
IHNSW must have player registrations in teams from the
clubs by Tuesday, the March 2nd 2010 for both AA and A divisions.
Players are permitted to play with only a single team
in the same grade, including Senior B Division.
Please refer to the Special Rules for Senior B.
