Please note

• Academy and APL are separate programmes

• We do not offer bundled or discounted pricing for doing both

• Each programme is priced based on its own structure and costs

All players enrolling in RD Academy and/or APL are required to pay a one-time $79 admin & kit fee.

This includes:

• Programme administration

• Shirt

• Shorts

• Socks

• Sock sleeves

• Waterproof string bag

This ensures consistency, identity, and a professional standard across all programmes.

To maintain a high-quality and sustainable environment:

• Academy sessions and APL sessions are not interchangeable

• No casual drop-ins

• No refunds or discounts for missed sessions

• APL runs as a fixed competition block with fixed costs

• Academy subscription pricing is reserved for families committing long-term

These boundaries allow us to plan properly, support coaches, and provide a consistent experience for players.

Our goal is to offer clarity, consistency, and choice, without compromising the learning environment or programme sustainability.

Not every programme will be the right fit for every term, and that’s completely okay.
Families are welcome to take part in the pathways that best suit them.
