Frequently Asked Questions

What happens after my team is registered?

After your team is registered, your manager will receive a confirmation email with approval of registration. Part of that email will direct your players to a link to become registering online. Once your players have completed their registration and payment, your team is good to go!

How much is Registration?

All playing members of Summer Football in Blacktown will pay only $100 registration in 2020.

Why is it so cheap compared to other Summer Football Providers?

The Blacktown FA understand that due to COVID-19 restrictions and a shorter Summer Football Season, a realistic cost should be offered to its members.

Why is my registration Cost slightly higher than the $100 advertised price?

If you played winter football your insurances have already been covered for 2020. Anyone who is playing Summer Football only will need to pay FNSW an insurance fee. Make sure that you are consistent with your FFA number!

How do I pay for Summer Football?

Only online payments will be accepted through registration. If you are using your Active Kids Voucher, please have this ready upon registration.

How much are the referee fees for Summer Football?

Nothing! All of the referee costs are included in your registration fees.

What nights are the different age groups running?

On Monday’s we are dedicating the whole night to our highly skilled All Age Men. Tuesday we will see our competitive under 12 through to under 17’s play and on Wednesday’s the MiniRoos (under 8 – 11) and All Age Women are on.

Who arranges our playing jerseys?

Your team will need to arrange your own playing strip.

Why aren’t you offering All Aged Mixed, Over 35’s or Junior Girls Competitions?

The Blacktown Summer Football providers got together and are working together to offer more for our members. Instead of poorly populated competitions, the intention is to have bigger competitions providing better viariety. For example, Prospect Utd will be running All Aged Mixed, Marayong FC are running junior girls and Ponds are running Under 5 – 7 & Premier League.

How many divisions are there?

The Blacktown FA offer multi divisions in the All Age Competitions. Depending on interest, will see how many divisions are offered in the junior age groups.

What if there are not enough teams to create a competition?

We will endevour to combine competitions if there are not enough teams. If we cannot combine, we will organise a transfer to one of our other local competitions.

I don’t have a team to play in, can I register?

We don’t offer any positions to those without a team. Best bet is to reach out to your mates and arrange your own team.
