o What are the squad strengths in each age group?

U9 (15), U11 (15), U13 (25) & U15 (25)

o Will the physio assessments and S&C sessions be held at the same locations?
Initial screening & regular group S&C sessions will happen at the same locations and is part of the package. However, for
one-on-one sessions for rehabilitation, S&C, etc. that you may opt for on top, you may have to travel to the physio’s clinics.

o What comes with the nutrition package?

One parent orientation session including overall guidance on how to eat right pre-workout, post workout, etc. is included
as part of the package. Additionally, personalized diet planning & 1-on-1 consultation can be facilitated at a cost.

o Can the registration fee be paid in installments?

We can enable EMI payment via credit card. However, it is important that all members of the squad commit for the whole
season right at the start – hence the need to collect the full payment in advance.

o Is DPDL registration fee covered in the price?

KSFA registration is included. DPDL is not.
