Question 1

When do registrations for the winter season open?

Accepted Answer

Registrations are open here.

Click here for registration instructions and click here for the FA PlayFootball links and support.

Question 2

Have I registered in the correct age group? And if not, what should I do next?

Accepted Answer

NSFA’s Birth Date Requirements can be viewed here.

If you have registered in the incorrect age group, you will need to notify the Club ASAP via email. If you have already made payment, you may need to be de-registered and re-registered.
It is possible to be granted permission to play up or down an age group/s depending on the circumstances. A Special Dispensation Form will need to be completed and returned to LCFC which is then passed onto NSFA. This can be found here.

Question 3

How do I pay for registration?

Question 6

What do I wear to trials/training?

Accepted Answer

There are no required uniforms for trials or training. Please wear a t-shirt and shorts of any colour/style.

We know it can be hard to purchase gear like football boots and shin pads in time for the start of the season. Therefore, runners are acceptable and you can trial/train without shin pads.

However, when playing in competitive matches on the weekend (commencing in April), you will be required to wear footballs boots, shin pads and the LCFC uniform.

Don’t forget to bring a water bottle!

Question 7

I want myself/my child to play with certain friends, who do I contact?

Accepted Answer

If you or your child would like to play with in the same team specific friends, then please enter their full names during the player registration process. There is a question that asks for any friends that you would like to play with! We will notify the age coordinator and do our best to allocate friends in the same teams. Please be mindful that it may not always be possible when teams are graded (U8s and older).

If you forget to input this information during your registration or you have something you need to amend, please simply email: admin@lcfc.com.au with the friend requests/updates.

Question 8

How do I claim the Active Kids Rebate & use my Active Kids Voucher?

Accepted Answer

If you are planning on using the Active Kids Rebate for your child’s registration please apply for this here BEFORE commencing registration with LCFC.

You can enter your Active Kids Rebate voucher number at the PAYMENT section of the registration process, under VOUCHERS/COUPONS, to receive $100.00 off your registration! Don’t forget to click APPLY to update the invoice prior to payment.

Speak to the Club if you would like to use your Active Kids Voucher for other LCFC programs such as Term 4 Skills and Development Squads.

Question 9

Will I be refunded depending on the circumstance?

Accepted Answer

A place in a team cannot be guaranteed. If a player is not allocated to a team, a refund will be granted. Refunds for any other reason must be approved by the LCFC Board.

Once a player has been selected into a team and played a match scheduled under the official NSFA Competition, they will no longer be entitled to a refund due to withdrawal, injury or other circumstances.

If you think you are entitled to a refund please refer to the PlayFootball 2.0 Refund Process. Click here to view the Refunds Process Flow.

Question 10

Why does my registration show as ‘pending’ on PlayFootball and why hasn’t my registration been ‘approved’?

Accepted Answer

Don’t worry, ALL registrations will be approved in our system!
It takes the administration team a long time to check all registrations and approve them in the system. Unfortunately, it is a manual process and we have over 1000 players all registering in a small number of weeks.

Once registrations are approved in the system it is more troublesome to amend registrations and we quite often leave it until the last possible moment before the start of the season so we can ensure we have all the right numbers and that players are registered in the correct age groups.

Rest assured, we consider your registration approved the moment you are in the system!
