How to Register with Northbridge FC 2025 season – Players, Coaches and Team Managers

GET INVOLVED AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Volunteers are the heart of our club, and we simply can’t run without you. Volunteering is a fantastic way to give back to your community, support our players and help make the season a success.
Consider stepping up today—your help is invaluable!

As we gear up for the 2025 season, we urgently need Age Coordinators. Age Coordinators play a vital role in ensuring smooth communication and organisation for each age group. Click here for more information on the role.

Please contact our club info@northbridgefc.com.au to see how you can help.

BEFORE YOU REGISTER

Before accessing the online registration system (Play Football) please review the following and ensure you have the required information ready to start your registration. You will need:

1. PLAYERS NOT IN A TEAM
Players who are not yet part of a team, please fill out this FORM.
We’re excited to welcome new players and will assist you in finding a team. We’ll be in touch as soon as possible with details about potential teams. If you have any questions, feel free to email us.

Please note: Please do not register until your team placement is confirmed.

2.ACTIVE KIDS
If you are registering a school child (6-18 years of age) the NSW Government is offering $50 voucher for eligible families which can be redeemed when registering.
a. To apply for the Active Kids Vouchers Click Here.
b. For further information on the Active Kids program Click Here.

Please note: We cannot manually redeem vouchers, and they must be redeemed when registering online. You will need a voucher number before you start the registration process.

3. PHOTO FOR U10 TO M55 PLAYERS
A passport-style photo must be uploaded to your registration, and it will be used for identification purposes during matches. Players will not be permitted to play if a photo is not included.

Please note: For 2025 there is a new Play Football platform and photos have not been transferred across so you will need to upload a photo when registering.

4.SIBLING DISCOUNT
Families registering two or more players in U6 to U18 age groups are eligible for a sibling discount. To receive this, please email info@northbridgefc.com.au the names and dates of birth of each child. We will then provide you with a family discount voucher to apply to the 2nd, 3rd/4th child’s registration.

Please note: If you do not have the voucher at the time of registration, you will not be able to claim the sibling discount.

5. TEAM MANAGERS / COACHES and WWCC
All teams need a registered manager and coach to play.
Football NSW requires all team managers and coaches of players under the age of 18 to provide a Working With Children (WWCC) number prior to your registration being accepted. This policy means even parents managing/coaching their own child’s team must have a WWCC number. WWC are free for volunteers and are valid for 5 years. If your team is paying your coach, all paid coaches must apply for a paid WWC.
a. To apply for a WWC click here
b. To renew your WWC click here
c. To register as a team manager or coach click here

Please note: You’ll need to include your WWCC number when completing the ‘Play Football’ Coach/Manager registration process.

NEW NATIONAL REGISTRATION PLATFORM – 2025 FOOTBALL SEASON

For the 2025 season, Play Football 2.0 has been launched. 

If you’ve previously registered with Play Football, you’ll need to claim your existing account. This process ensures your details (First Name, Last Name, and Date of Birth) match up correctly to avoid any duplication.

Step-by-Step Guides

Detailed instructions are available for:

  1. Existing participants claiming their account during the registration process.
  2. Existing participants claiming their account through the participant profile.
  3. Registering on behalf of someone else (e.g., parents registering children).

If you find any discrepancies, please contact the Play Football Support Team for assistance before continuing. This ensures your registration is accurate and your eligibility is maintained.

IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR 2025

  • All fees must be paid in full at the time of registration.
  • All players U10 and up will need to upload a photo ID as photos have NOT been transferred across to the new platform.
  • Registrations can only be approved once we confirm that the player has been assigned to a team.
  • There is a new refund policy due to FNSW and Football Australia collection of regulation fees. For more information click here
