Self-Organised Travel and Accommodation

To prioritise player safety, especially in relation to underage members, athletes are required to self-organise their accommodation to help ensure they are in a safe environment and allow for adequate supervision. It also allows families to choose accommodation that suits their budget and, where possible, enables athletes to stay with relatives. This can help ease the financial burden often associated with representative tournaments.
