Now I know some of you will be thinking that the football season seems likes months away, however it is closer than we think. With grading for the U11 to U21 age groups commencing from the 9th February and team nominations for all age groups due to be submitted to the Nepean Football Association by the 28th February, it is important that you get online and register for 2017.

Online registrations will close on the 5th February and only reopen from the 7th February for age groups requiring additional players. Therefore it is a good idea to register prior to the 5th February to secure your membership as a player.

For returning players who are born in 1999, 2002, 2005 & 2008 you will require an updated photo to be loaded onto MyFootBallClub when registering online. If you are having difficulty uploading a photo then it is best to attend one of our clubhouse registration days so we can take your photo and upload it for you.

New players (who didn't play at the club in 2016) will be required to attend the clubhouse on our registration days so that we can sight your identification.

Any member requiring assistance regarding the registration process, please contact either MyFootBallClub on 8020 4199 or the Club Registrar Annette Harrop at admin@springwoodunited.com.au

Payment can be finalised online at the time of registration or after you have registered online at the clubhouse on one of the registration days.

Families with two or more players can claim the club's family discount. The discount cannot be claimed online. To claim the discount please register online and then attend one of the registration days at the clubhouse to make your payment. We can accept cash, credit card, EFTPOS and cheque.
