Fees include membership and the seeding of your
tournament account for all forms of competition including tournaments, league days and National Competitive League (NCL) fees. Cost of travel, accommodation, food and incidentals are not included.
It is important to note that the fees for competition are
an estimate only. Actual competition fees will vary with some families receiving a refund and others being required to pay additional costs depending on the number of competitions their athlete participates in. This includes playing up for an older team.
Refer to the
Tournament account page for additional information on how tournament fees are managed.

- Payment in full by cheque made out to KW Water Polo Club. Bring cheque to registration night. Please indicate player name on the cheque.
- Installment payments made on the 15th of each month for 8 months, October to May. A VOID cheque must be provided either as an attachment in your electronic application, or brought to registration night. Please indicate player name on the cheque.

In addition, members must fulfill their Bingo commitment as outlined on the Bingo page.
Recruiting Bonus
For the 2019 - 2020 season, we are experimenting with the introduction of a recruiting bonus. The intention is to reward members who actively work to increase our membership. Existing members can earn $500 for each new member they bring into KW Water Polo's development programs. This is a one-time bonus which will be paid only if the new recruit becomes a fully paid member for at least one season. Some guiding principles apply:
- Most importantly, the new member must name the member who referred them to our program when they register online, not afterwards.
- Any member returning for the 2019 - 2020 season is eligible to earn this recruiting bonus.
- One new member recruited by you = $500, two new members recruited by you = $1000, and so on.
- This bonus is for any new fully paid member that is accepted into the 19U, 16U, 14U or 12U KW Water Polo club development program - see the Age Divisions page if you are not sure about years of birth that qualify.
- A new member is defined as anyone who was not a member of the KW Water Polo Club in the 2018 - 2019 season.
- The new member can be a sibling, a member of another club, or a player that is returning to our club after taking a break.
- The new member must be assessed and meet the standards set by our coaching staff.
- The new member must be accepted by the club as a new member.
- The new member's fees must be paid in full before the bonus will be paid.
Presently, this is an initiative for the 2019 - 2020 season only.
