FAQ
Questions parents ask
Do I need to be a Sharks player already?
No. The team is open to current Sharks players and to players from other clubs and schools.
What's the difference between registering and expressing interest?
Registering tells us you're ready to commit to training and selection. Expressing interest means you'd like more information first. Both are free, and neither is payment.

25 – 26 March 2027 at the Tampa Sportsplex, 9330 E Columbus Dr, Tampa, FL 33619.
What does it cost, and what is included?
$200 per athlete. That includes 2 T-Shirts, Playing jersey, Shorts and Socks.
Can girls play?
Yes. U12 is COED. U14 is boys only.
What about safety and concussion protocols?
We follow World Rugby's 'Recognize & Remove' concussion protocol. A player with a suspected concussion is removed immediately and does not return to play the same day.
How will players be selected?
Selection is based on commitment, attendance at training, and development. Spots are limited.

Use the sponsor form above, or call Coach Wicus. We have tiers for every budget, and you can sponsor a single athlete.
