Senior registrations for our 2025 winter season are now open!

Just a heads up that the senior registration fees you pay each year have never covered all the costs of running the teams you represent – these costs include playing kit, equipment, balls, fields hire, referees, WaiBOP and NZF fees, and also last years unpaid player fines & unpaid registration fees.

A significant proportion of the senior membership fees you pay (50%+) are payable to our governing bodies of WaiBOP Football and NZF. They have advised that they will be increasing their fees by 15% each season in the coming years.

We rely on all players paying their fair share, paying their fines, the work of unpaid volunteers, contributions from valued sponsors, our friendly bar staff, and funding applications to keep both the clubs costs and what you pay in registration fees down.

The average cost to the club for every senior player in 2024 was $640! This figure does not include the off-field merchandise introduced in 2024. The off-field merchandise for new players is again heavily subsidised this year at only $120 per senior player.

We will continue to try and keep our fees down where we can. You can help with this by paying your registration fees on time, paying your fines on time, volunteering, or sponsoring the club, to get more involved please contact info@taupofootball.org.nz

Senior Registration – Under 19 – WITHOUT off-field merchandise $170
