Lacrosse Victoria Registration FAQs

Previously this fee (which includes LV & LA administration and insurance coverage) was integrated into the cost of your club membership fees (or subs) and was charged by LV to clubs per player based on the previous years’ participation numbers.

Introducing the LVR reduces the guess work and administration of collating how many players a club had participate in the previous year and gives a precise number for insurance coverage.

Fees will now be separated into the LVR (paid by individuals) and team entry fees (paid by clubs).

Players will pay the LVR when registering to your club via GameDay. Clubs will then charge their own membership fees to be paid as requested by your club (e.g. via GameDay or directly to your club).

Our top priority is to support clubs in getting participants registered, on the field, and playing lacrosse, with the confidence that they are covered in case of injury and protected under any Lacrosse Victoria sanctioned competition or event.

The LVR for players covers:

• Personal Injury/ Accident Insurance – coverage through our provider, Gallagher Insurance
• Affiliation with Lacrosse Victoria and Lacrosse Australia
• Opportunity to participate in all LV and LA sanctioned leagues, competitions and events
• Eligibility to participate in Development, State and National teams
• A contribution to Lacrosse Victoria and Lacrosse Australia administration costs
  

Additionally, the LVR along with team entry fees, assist in covering the following:

• Comprehensive insurance coverage for clubs, including Public Liability, Products Liability, Professional Indemnity and Management Liability
• Administrative, governance and strategic support for member clubs
• Management and provision of a tribunal system across Victoria
• Management and administration of the field lacrosse season, LV Sixes competitions and junior tournaments
• Payment of officials (referees & umpires) for all LV competitions/ events

The LVR fee varies based on player age groups. As per LV competition rules, is age as of 1^st May for the year of competition.

The LVR is inclusive of GST and GameDay transaction fees.

See LVR fees below:

• Please note players will pay the fee dictated by their date of birth (and therefore competition age group) and does not take into consideration any permits for players playing above or below their actual age group during a season.

Membership fees charged are up to the discretion of each individual club.

Clubs pay an entry fee to submit teams into each competition, additionally, clubs have their own varying operational costs, administrative fees and expenses. Paying your clubs fees will help with putting teams out on the field as well as the day-to-day operations of your club.

If you need further details on your club membership fees, reach out to your respective club.

The player registration process will be the same as previous years, with players registering through their respective club’s registration link via GameDay.

The LVR is built into the end of GameDay registration forms and paid when registering to play for your club or in any LV sanctioned competition.

Payments need to be paid online (via apple pay, card or direct debit), in full and cannot be paid in instalments.

If you are registering multiple players, follow instructions and click, ‘Confirm Selection’, followed by ‘Proceed to Payment’. It will then take you back, to fill in details for the second individual you are registering. Repeat all steps until you have filled in details for all players. It will then total the amount payable, where you will be able to pay for all players in one payment.

Please reach out to your club for their GameDay registration link.

No, any Victorian player that wishes to take part in any competition that is sanctioned by LV or LA needs to be a registered player and therefore have paid the LVR fee.

Any club that is found to have played an unregistered player, will be subject to penalty and fines as outlined in the competition rules.

Any individual that registers via GameDay, purely as a coach, official and/or volunteer will not need to pay the LVR fee. However, they will not be eligible to take the field or participate in any capacity as a player.

Any player that is also taking on a role of coach, official or volunteer is encouraged to also select this in the first steps of the Gameday registration process, to help with participation data. However, will be required to pay the LVR fee.

As mentioned above, any club that is found to have played an unregistered player, will be subject to penalty and fines as outlined in the competition rules.

The LVR covers individuals from date of registration to 31^st December the same year. The LVR will need to be paid every year a participant wishes to take part in any in LV or LA competition.

Players for ‘come and try’ sessions are covered under a club's public liability insurance and therefore will not need to pay the LVR.

Clubs will need to ensure they fill out the LV Club Event Form for all come and try sessions, to gain approval to be a LV sanctioned event.
