Everyone will need to collect gear that day.

What if I am a new player?

You will need to attend Registration Day to supply proof of age – a birth certificate, passport, or driver’s licence. This will be verified by a club official, a photocopy taken and the original returned to you immediately. You must bring the original document as photocopies CANNOT be accepted.

If I registered online do I need to attend Registration Day?

YES! EVERY registered player needs to turn up to collect the new 2020 playing gear.
All NEW players must come to have their proof of age confirmed and collect gear.
EXISTING players need to come to pay registration fees, receive family discounts and collect 2020 gear.

If you are a NEW player and have not registered to play football before, you will need to bring the following with you:

the ORIGINAL copy of your birth certificate, passport or Driver’s License
registration fees (if not paid online).

How can I pay my registration fees?

Registration fees may be paid by CARD online when registering or on registration days by EFTPOS or CASH. Card fees do apply

Fees 2020

How much are the fees?

Increases from the governing bodies have necessitated an increase of $10 and the club has added a modest $5 to assist with the expected facility upgrade usage costs for 2020. We always try to keep our fees as low as possible and it is with our fantastic sponsors help we are able to achieve this.

Please note: FNSW has discontinued the student registration discounted fee, and students are now required to pay the full senior fee. If this affects you and limits your ability to play football, please contact [email protected] in confidence.

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 2020 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 2020.

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