What if I can’t make all the sessions planned; can I receive a refund? Unfortunately, the cost of running the Academy program is a set sum. To keep the program viable, we are unable to treat sessions and activities as individual events.

If an athlete sustains an injury and has to miss a number of sessions, will there be a refund? Hockey NT will consider requests for a refund on an individual basis. The nature and seriousness of the illness/injury will be considered along with the estimated recovery period. Please email Michelle Caden at Hockey NT, technicaldirector@hockeynt.asn.au for further information.

If the Development Program or the Academy sessions have already commenced, and I wish to sign up, am I too late? The 2025 Stingers Academy program is designed to fit into and support our state team programs and is also set out in blocks inside the school terms. If you miss the first sessions or one of the training blocks, then you can still apply for the 2025 Academy program as it runs through until November 2025. In this situation, we ask that you please contact email Michelle Caden at Hockey NT, technicaldirector@hockeynt.asn.au to discuss the available options.
