It is the policy of Halifax Dunbrack Soccer Club that all players are required to attend player placement sessions. To attend these sessions you must be registered for the current season. To be registered means you have filled out registration paperwork and paid the registration fee in full OR have made acceptable payment arrangements with the HDSC office staff. Players applying for funding assistance must provide the HDSC office staff with a copy of the following support documents before coming to team balancing or player placement sessions:

1.      Jumpstart:  Please provide the reference number (NS…) that you received when applying.

2.      Kidsport:  Please provide your confirmation email.

3.      Notice of Assessment:  Please provide a copy of each parent's 2017 Notice of Assessment.

4.      Social Assistance:  Please provide your monthly support statement.

Players requesting Everyone Plays funding MUST apply for Jumpstart and Kidsport first, and must have been a club member in good standing for two seasons before they will be considered for in-house funding through Everyone Plays.
