🏀 Competitions & Age Groups
One of the unique benefits of SEM Magic is our multi-game and competition flexibility. Players can compete in two competitions while attending just one training session per week. Members registering for a second game with SEM Magic are eligible for a $160 discount.
All players will be placed in the appropriate age group based on their year of birth. Playing in the correct age group based on year of birth aligns with SEM Magic’s principles of long-term player development and retention.
Members wishing to play outside their natural age group will be assessed and advised as part of the membership application process, prior to registration. The club retains final authority to approve or deny any age group exemption, in accordance with league rules and any relevant legislation set forth by the sport’s governing bodies.
⛹️♂️ Squads & Player Development
SEM Magic's Squad-Based Training system sets us apart from other clubs. Instead of isolated team practices, our teams train together across multiple courts, fostering a collaborative and consistent development environment. Coaches work as a team to deliver a unified training program, ensuring players develop at their own pace while becoming familiar with the club’s environment, fellow players, and coaching staff.
