Registration Questions and Answers

What is the minimum age to register?

The minimum age requirement is that your child must turn 5 in 2012. (5 year old children play in the U/6 competition.) However, when considering if your child is old enough to commence their career, be mindful that some games may start at 8:00 am. This can be physically demanding for our youngest players.

How do I know which agegroup to register my child/myself in?

If a child is turning 7 this year they play in the U/7 agegroup. Turning 11, the U/11 agegroup. There are a couple of exceptions:- a) If a child wants to play with friends who are in the same year at school but their birthday is in a different calendar year, the younger child can play ‘up’. b) In the women’s O/30 competition and the men’s O/35 and O/45 competitions the player must be turning 31, 36 and 46 respectively this year. ie ‘O’ is for over.

No-one can play in an agegroup younger than the age they turn this year.

Where are games played?

Games are played on a home and away basis between clubs affiliated with the Sutherland Shire Football Assoc (SSFA) and are confined to the Sutherland Shire. You may need to travel in a range extending from Cronulla to the east, Menai to the west, Heathcote to the south and Oyster Bay to the north. How long is the season? The season proper extends over 18 weeks during the autumn and winter months and does not break for school holidays except for U6 - U11 where there are some breaks in the school holidays. A three week final series for competitive grades is then conducted after the season proper. The season starts on Saturday 24th March and the full programme is set out on the club’s website.

What documentation is needed to register as a first time player?

If you or your child has not played football in the SSFA or if you last played prior to 1990 then;

1. An original birth certificate, driver’s license or passport must be produced upon registration in order to verify the date of birth. It will not be necessary to produce this document when registering in later years.

2. You will also be required to demonstrate proof of residency in the Sutherland Shire IF you have never previously played in the shire. For adults, this proof may be a driver's license, bank statement, electricity bill, lease agreement. For children, a parent's license will suffice.
