We are family friendly club and understand that the registration fees can be a big ask for families. Therefore, we also offer payment plans to help you pay the registration fees for the season. You can nominate the amount & frequency for payments, with all fees to be paid in full by end of August. Payments via direct debit can be scheduled to be taken out once or twice per week. The payment days for direct debit are Tuesdays and Fridays. Please note that a fee will be applied for failed direct debit transactions & that this is beyond our control. 

Fee components

Registration fee: A registration fee paid per player per season to enable them to play in competition football that season.  Football Victoria & Football Federation Australia both take a component of this fee in varying amounts depending on the registration type (breakdown available when you register via Play Football).  The balance pays for thing such as team entry fees, referees, coaches, training venue hire etc.

Please note that the insurance coverage provided by the association is minimal, we recommend players have personal insurance in place.

Club membership fee: This covers club overheads and bills such as electricity, insurance, subscriptions etc.

• State league/ Local players - For players registering as a state league or a local player, need to pay a club membership fee charged per player. All players must pay their club membership at the minimum by the registration day to schedule for season's competitions.
• Junior/ Miniroo - For players registering as a Junior or a Miniroo, our club charges the club membership per family for the first player. Any subsequent siblings registering as a Junior or Miniroo player in a family will not be required to pay the club membership fee.

Association fees: State League players will also need to pay the association fees component of their registration before being approved to play in State League pre-season competitions.

Volunteer Levy: A voluntary levy is applicable for the families or senior players who are not able to help out by volunteering at least twice during the season.  Any levies collected will be used to offset the cost of maintenance tasks at the club premises.

Everyone who chooses not to pay the volunteer levy is expected to volunteer throughout the season as calls go out.

Please note that paying this levy does not exclude members from match day duties.  Pitches do not set up or pack themselves, line referees are required unless provided by FV, change rooms are to be left clean & tidy.

Social membership fees: Club members/family who would like to have their family and/or friends to join them during the club event on the club premises requires a social membership fee per person.
