Registration Fees for 2025–2026

* Family Levies are only paid once per family regardless of athletes age groupings. The Parent Roster Levy is refundable at the end of the season if your family completes at least 60% of rostered duties across the season (including before and after Christmas). This levy is forfeited if the roster commitment is not fulfilled, and athletes will not be eligible for an end-of-season trophy.

Uniform Requirements

All athletes must wear the correct Bracken Ridge Centre uniform. Items can be purchased at the clubhouse.

Tops: Polo shirt, singlet or crop top in Centre colours
Bottoms: Shorts, bike pants, briefs or compression tights (must be predominantly black)
Footwear: Must be worn at all times. Spikes only permitted for U11–U17 in certain events.

See Uniform Guidelines for full rules on logos, patches, and competition compliance.
