Senior Registrations – 2025 Season

Registrations for our senior teams are now closed for the 2025 season.

We’d like to be upfront about costs: the registration fees players pay each year only cover a portion of what it actually costs to run a team. Expenses include playing kit, equipment, balls, field hire, referees, WaiBOP and NZF fees, and unfortunately, unpaid fines and registration fees from previous seasons.

More than 50% of senior membership fees go directly to our governing bodies, WaiBOP Football and NZ Football. Both organisations have confirmed they will be increasing their fees by 15% per season over the coming years.

In 2024, the average cost to the club per senior player was $640 — and this does not include off-field merchandise. Thanks to heavy subsidies, new senior players can once again access the full off-field kit in 2025 for just $120.

Our club relies on:

• Every player paying their fees and fines on time

• The dedication of our volunteers

• The generosity of our sponsors

• The hard work of our bar staff

• Funding applications to support major costs

We’ll continue to do everything we can to keep fees as low as possible. You can help us by paying promptly, volunteering your time, or supporting the club as a sponsor.
