Membership – 2024/25
The Club is now using an easy-to-use, hassle-free online system called TeamFeePay to manage membership subscriptions.
Players and parents/guardians can access TeamFeePay via the website or by using the TeamFeePay app (available on Android and IOS Apple Store) where they can register and set-up their 9-month payment plan for the relevant team/category. As a new user, you will have to ‘Sign in with an email’. Parents/Guardians must use their own when creating an account.
Alternatively, you can click on the relevant ‘Team link’ below which will bring you to the Desktop version of TeamFeePay where you can complete registration and set-up your payment schedule.
The first payment will be taken during initial registration (September), followed by eight additional payments on the 1st of each month. Registration must be set-up before our deadline Friday 27 September.
What are your membership fees?
Membership Fees account for all the costs absorbed by the Club to host training sessions and to participate in the various leagues and cup competitions – including small-sided games. This includes the cost of training facility hire, league and cup competition fees, match-day pitch hire, referees fees, Club Public Liability fees, equipment, balls, and coaches training. With most of our teams training on two occasions per week – plus match days – there is great value included in the overall cost per player.
However, Membership Fees alone do not cover the full cost of expenses for the Club and a huge amount of work is undertaken to raise extra revenue through fundraising and sponsorship. We would appreciate your participation or contribution to any initiatives – and are always welcome to new sponsorship opportunities.
Personal Insurance Cover
The Club have made a decision to incorporate a ‘Player Insurance Policy’ within its membership fees. The club-wide policy means each player must register and pay membership via TeamFeePay*. The typical cost of insurance is approximately £2.60 per player, per month.
*Alternative arrangements can be made for those who would like to pay their membership cost in full or cash. Please contact a Committee member for further details.
