• Late Pick-Up Fees

A late pick-up fee of $50 per 15 minutes (or part thereof) applies for any child collected after 3:00 pm or 4:00 pm, depending on enrolment.

Fees are calculated from the scheduled pick-up time, not from the time of contact.

Late pick-up fees will be invoiced and added to the family account.

• Notification Requirement

Parents must notify State Soccer before the scheduled pick-up time if they anticipate being late.

Notification after the pick-up time does not exempt the late fee.

• Staffing and Safety

Coaching staff are not rostered beyond scheduled pick-up times.

Late pick-ups require staff to remain on site outside rostered hours and are treated as an exceptional supervision requirement, which is why fees apply.
