Saturday 26 January (9am – 3pm)

Saturday 27 January (9am – 3pm)

Sunday 2 February (9am – 3pm)

Sunday 3 February (9am – 3pm)

Players who are participating in the U12-18 age groups in 2013 must sign on on the first weekend (26 & 27 January) to enable our player registration process to be completed prior to the commencement of divisional grading on 4 February 2013.

This year we are asking for as many members as possible to register using the FFA ‘My Football Club’ (MFC) on-line registration process which can be accessed at www.myfootballclub.com.au before attending sign-on day.

You can download the MFC instructions sheet by clicking here.

You will also need to complete a club membership application which can be downloaded by clicking here.

Squirts football is available for players who are turning 4 or 5 years old in 2013.

REGISTRATION, MEMBERSHIP & MATCH FEES:

This season has seen an increase of approximately $6 per player in relation to association fees. We always attempt to keep our fees as reasonable as possible and we have worked very hard to keep our 2013 fees consistent with 2012.

Despite an almost 30% increase in the cost of utilities such as electricity and water as well as CPI increases, we have been able to reduce our squirts fee, keep our SSF fee the same as 2012 with a small $10 increase in divisional fees.

BPL fees are higher than divisional to cover the additional costs associated with those teams such as coaching and extra training nights and have been incorporated into the fees (no coaching levy).

Your registration fees help us run the club and in 2012 we invested more than $60,000 in fencing, equipment and field maintenance. The costs associated with our club are significant with at least $70,000.00 needed just to cover electricity, water, rates & insurance. Add to this the cost of coaching courses, replacement/new playing equipment, administration wages, trophies and photographs to all players; there is limited revenue available for the club to fund additional improvements.

We will also be replacing all of our divisional playing kits in 2013 (U12-18).

Whilst there may be cheaper options at other clubs – we feel we offer the best product in the local area with an extended season, development programs, great coaching, great facilities and fantastic atmosphere!
