STEP FOUR: Register online (All Players, Coaches, Managers and Volunteers)

• Click here to register online at Play Football.
• Choose the age group that you want the player to play in:
  ‍
  For example - if the player turns 7 in 2024 but you want them to play up 1 year in the 8s age group, you must select 08 Mixed. This is essential for the club to successfully complete the grading process for your child.
  
  This applies to all players in every age group - e.g. a 17 year old who wishes to play in Seniors should register as All Age Mens / Ladies or PL or PYL.
• Junior players – enter the Active Kids Rebate voucher number (if you’re using it with us).
• Coaches & Managers (of junior players) – enter your WWCC Clearance number (not Application number).
• Pay for your registration using Visa or MasterCard. Payment of the registration fee is mandatory.
