How much are the membership fees?
Membership fees are set by the Management Committee.
An invoice will be automatically generated for you once you register on PlayFootball. This way we can track the payment cycle of fees more transparently.
Active Members: $210
Inactive Members (includes Assessors): $175
Dont worry - the fees are outlined again on PlayFootball when you register.
Included are the usual things like insurances, FNSW affiliation fee and FFA accreditation fees, seminars, assessments, and ticket to the end of year dinner (a small additional fee may apply).
There are no additional payments for uniforms; we have a deal covering the 2017-2019 seasons and an extension covering the 2020 season.
Is it the same form for new members?
No!
If you know someone who is interested in becoming a member, get them to have a look at the pages under "Join Us" and they can get in contact with us that way.
Working With Children checks in 2020?
Every member 18 years of age or older must obtain and submit a Working With Children check number. This is Football NSW policy. We are required to verify your status. Remember that you must register as an employee since you are being paid for what you do. If you already have a number you can use that number; and they last for five years.
