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

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.
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.
