ORDER OF MERIT

The player stars will be awarded on the following basis:

  • 1 star after playing 3 games for a league team of the club;
  • 1 star for making a Southern Cape Junior Foundation provincial team;
  • 1 star for a top 3 finish in a Southern Cape Junior Foundation Tournament;
  • 2 stars for a win in a Southern Cape Junior Foundation Tournament;
  • 1 star for a top 3 finish in a National Junior Tournament;
  • 3 stars for a win in a National Junior Tournament;
  • 2 stars for making a Senior Southern Cape team;
  • 2 stars for a top 3 finish in a Senior Tournament;
  • 3 stars for a win in a Senior Tournament;

The member with the most stars at the end of the year will win the “Order of Merit” and receive the “57 trophy”.

When a member reaches 10 stars, the Academy will consider helping the junior to play in more National Junior events. If possible, a club fitment deal will also be negotiated with sponsors.

Although we acknowledge Senior Tournaments, the Academy only supports Junior Tournaments.
