The $100 voucher can be used towards your registration.

How can I pay my registration fees?

Coach, Manager or RTO

What if I’m a Coach, Manager or RTO?

This year again ALL coaches, managers and RTOs will also need to register with Play Football.

Football NSW has introduced a new Working with Children Check Policy.   From the 2018 season and beyond, it is a requirement of Football NSW that all Technical Directors, Coaches, Managers, Referees and other persons in child related roles working or volunteering with children under 18 years obtain a WWCC and provide their Club, Association, Centre, Branch or Referee Branch with a valid WWC number.

For this reason:

• All volunteers will now require a WWC number; and
• All referees, will now require a WWC number.
• The only exemption for these roles recognised by Football NSW is the exemption for persons aged under 18 years.

To apply for a WWCC, visit the Service NSW website to complete an online form, and complete your application by visiting your nearest Service NSW branch to get your ID checked. Once approved, your WWCC number will be emailed to you.  There is no fee if you are a volunteer, parent or carer.

When is my Team Selection night?

Please check our website from early February for details of Team Selection dates and times. We will also supply this information on Registration Day. It is very important that you attend so we can organise teams and get you in contact with your coach and manager. This is even more important for graded teams so that we can place you in a team of similar ability.

If you have any questions or just want to double check anything please e mail [email protected]

If you are experiencing financial difficulty and would like help or to discuss options please contact [email protected] in confidence

A final word

Remember, even if you have registered and paid this doesn’t mean you are eligible to play or coach in 2021 until our Registrar has approved your registration. Therefore, if we don’t have the required paperwork as outlined above or information requested, then we will NOT be able approve your registration and you won’t be able to play in pre-season trial matches or possibly for the initial games of Season 2021.

Good luck and happy registering! Keep an eye out for our website and Facebook page for updates.
