Subscriptions (Registration Fees)

ALL MEMBERS ARE REQUESTED TO PAY FEES BY THE EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT EXPIRY DATE OF 12th MARCH 2021 (now extended).

Paying fees before that date enables members to pay the lowest possible amount.

ALL FEES ARE DUE AND PAYABLE IN FULL BY 1st APRIL 2021.

At Ellerslie AFC we continue to set our subscriptions at a level which provides great value for families to afford football. The Club tries very hard to keep fees to a minimum and continues to try and offset cost increases incurred in delivering services to members, while also meeting the club's objectives of delivering a high quality footballing experience.

Grade	Fee	EBD	EBD Applied
Under 5 (U5)	$125.00	$20.00**	$105.00

Note: EBD is Early Bird Discount.

** The Early Bird discount amount indicated can be deducted when subscription fees are paid in full before midnight on Friday 12th March 2021.

Season Start Date

The club will start the Under 5 Starters sessions on Friday 21st May 2021. Sessions will run each Friday from 4.00pm-4.45pm until Friday 24th September 2021 but will stop during school holidays in July. Please view all sessions on the Key dates calendar.

Internet Based Registration System and Database

The Club will utilise the online registration and database system (ClubHub) for 2021.

The key features include:

Online player/parent or guardian registration and payment facilities.
Online facilities for members to change contact information, view financial transactions, pay outstanding accounts, change passwords etc.
Enhanced ability for administrators to email all members individually, in teams, in grades, in selections of teams, etc.

You can access the registration system by clicking the “Go to Player Registration” Link at the foot of this page

PLEASE NOTE - 2020 Ellerslie players and parents can shortcut the 2021 registration process by logging in using their username and password from 2020 (for any family member). You will be directed to the registration screen with partially completed data from last year. Please CAREFULLY CHECK AND UPDATE YOUR DATA before completing registration.

If you cannot recall your 2020 username and password, you can register again from the beginning for 2021. Ellerslie Admin staff will link your previous history with your new username and password (if applicable).

Playing Uniform

There is no uniform needed to be worn by the Under 5 Starters group. It would be best that they wear shorts and if they plan to play next season, you may want to purchase black shorts and long gold or yellow football socks (information below).

Players will normally need to provide the following items of their own:

Football Boots (NO metal studs to be worn on artificial turf)

Shin pads (players without shin pads will not be permitted to play)

Shorts, socks, guard stays and supporters gear (caps, beanies, jackets etc) can be bought online from Score Sportswear (Lotto) via special online shops for Ellerslie players and supporters. Click here to get more information.

Volunteers

Like any organisation dealing with children’s activities, the Club relies heavily on adult involvement. The vast majority of teams are coached by a parent or somebody connected to players in the team.

In order to organise teams this year, your club must have coaches and managers for all teams. Please help your Club help your children by indicating how you can help (you will be asked during the online registration process). Your family's involvement in the activities for your child, would be greatly appreciated.

The Club runs specialised training sessions for new coaches and support coaches who wish to up skill through various training programmes run both internally and by Northern Region Football.

In particular, the club is looking for volunteers to fill the following roles. These can be standalone roles and not requiring the volunteer to be on any Committees.

Club Committee member
Assist the club with finding Sponsorship opportunities
Liaison for booking and arranging pick-up and return of Club marquees

Financial Support

As with with most community based sporting organisations, the demand for and desire to, improve services to our members is often constrained by funding shortfalls. There is continual pressure to maintain an appropriate balance between reasonable subscriptions and fees and providing more and improved quality services for members.

In the past three years, the club has committed to employing a full-time Director of Junior / Youth Coaching, part-time Football Director and academy coaches and Operations administration staff. We are certain these moves will continue to have tremendous benefits for player and coach development at all ages in the Junior / Youth division, enhance the opportunities for our older teenagers as they progress into Senior football & enhance the way the club delivers services to our members with the experience the current staff provide.

We urge all members to financially support these initiatives by:

Paying subscriptions in full and on time
Adding a donation at registration time if able
