    That once you join Bintang team training:
    - You must dedicate to coming 4-5 times a week
    - You're not allowed to hit at any other facility other than Bintang
    - Once you leave, you can never come back
    - If youre caught playing out of Bintang you get kicked out of the team
    - Cheaper than most other clubs?

    This is what I've heard but none of this info is available on their website. Anyone know?
    Thanks, Tim

    1, 2, and 4 are true but I'm not sure about 3, 5 is not true. I have several friends that were and still are on the bintang team, some have aged passed the elite team standards and others moved to different clubs.

    i think 3 should be:

    once you leave and train in another club, you cannot come back.

    If you train with the team? Can you go in and play for fun for free?

    yes you can, but sometimes they need to confirm and they will call the location you train at.

    Every club has its own rule as long as it's layout clearly to the participants prior to joining the club then it's fair. If I am not mistaken, the similar rules also widely use by many state/national bodies?

    Ohh okay thanks everyone. The previous clubs I've trained at didn't have rules similar to Bintang
