Registration 2019

There have been some changes to the way we register this year!

Please make sure you read the following important information before registering to play for the 2019 Season at

Richmond ExSSC!

Register at playfootball.com.au

What's new?

• New mobile optimised user experience
• Register multiple individuals from a single account, allowing you to register and manage your whole family from a single login!
• All participants will login with their Football Account and can use Facebook or Google logins, as well as email
• You no longer need your FFA number to log in

How to Register - New Participants...

• Search for your club and click on "Start Registration" to find your clubs registration page.
• You will need a Football Account to register. If you do not already have one you can create one very easily using your email address, facebook login, or google login.

How to Register - Existing Participants...

• FFA migrated all current and previous registrations to the new system. If you have registered before you will be able to claim profiles from MyFootballClub provided you use the same email address for sign up.
• For detailed instructions on how to "claim" your MyFootballClub profiles and link them to the one account please see Here
  
• Once you have "claimed" your participants history, you will be able to register any of the linked family members on your account, or sign up additional people
• IMPORTANT - You will not be able to claim your participant history if your email address or social media login does not match the email address used for registrations on the old MyFootballClub!
• If you no longer have access to the email in MyFootballClub - set up your Football Account with your new email, contact us (secretary@richmondsoccer.com.au) so we can then link your participation history to your new account. Then you can continue on with your registration.

We strongly recommend that you set up your Football Account and claim your old profiles prior to registrations opening on the 10th January, to avoid delays due to high traffic!

Every Player, Coach, Manager and Committee Member will be required to have a new ID photo done in 2019  

NO PHOTOS HAVE BEEN CARRIED ACROSS TO THE NEW PLATFORM!!

We can arrange this for you at our face to face registration days, so please be patient here, as you can imagine how big a task this will be!

Please note: The PlayFootball website and all relevant registration windows are designed to work best under a Google Chrome environment if using a PC.

 We are using a new registration platform this year so are expecting some teething problems! Your patience and co-operation would be greatly appreciated if you do encounter any difficulties regarding this implementation of our new platform at Playfootball

For a "How To Guide" step by step with screenshots to registering on the new system please click Here or check the info in the Regos and Active Kids menu on the Menu Bar for a more summerised version.

Don't forget, where applicable, apply for and obtain your Active Kids Voucher Number BEFORE starting to register your child online! You will need this voucher number to enter into our registration portal!

Please ensure you or your child are registering in your/their ACTUAL age group, not where you/they want to play!!

If for no other reason.........it makes your registration costs CHEAPER!!!!

If you are uploading your own photos to your Football Account (and we all need new photos this year) please ensure you are following NFA guidelines for these. You can see what these are by clicking Here

 If you would prefer, come and see us at one of our Face to Face Registration Days and we can take your photo for you. Remember an unacceptable photo means......no card........no card means....... NO PLAY!!

If you need assistance in setting up your Football Account and linking your family members, please see guide Here

Remember you can also come and see us on one of our Face to Face registration days or contact us if you have any concerns or questions!

Below is a Thank You received from the McGrath Foundation for our support again this season.

Dear Tracey,

As we close the year and start the festive season, we wanted to reach out and say a heartfelt thank you, for all your support this year.  

Tracey, it's meant that people like Jen in the video below, has had a McGrath Breast Care Nurse to support her and her family during one of the worst times of her life.

Please take a moment to watch as Jen tries to put into words what it means to have her McGrath Breast Care Nurse, Sam, by her side. Press play! 

Please know that your generous contribution has made a difference to so many people experiencing breast cancer. 

Thank you again.

Best wishes,

Holly Masters, CEO and the team at McGrath Foundation

We are completing a check on Medicare records to validate your child's name and age, to ensure they meet the eligibility requirements of the Active Kids rebate program.

I want to apply for more than 1 voucher as I have more than 1 child, how do I do this?

You can make multiple applications within your MyServiceNSW Account.

Should I apply for a voucher for each child as I have more than one child?

Yes, you must apply for a voucher for each child or young person.

Each child must have their own voucher with their name on it at the time of registration with a provider.

Each child must be school-enrolled, home schooled or enrolled in secondary school education at TAFE NSW or equivalent at the time of application.

Can I combine vouchers for different children, to be used for only 1 child?

No. You can only have one voucher per child. Each child must have their own voucher displaying their name.

My child exists on 2 Medicare cards, which number do I use?

Use the card that you and your child are listed on together. Each child is entitled to claim one voucher per year.

My child is not on a Medicare card, how do I claim a voucher?

To be eligible for the program, your child must be listed on a current Medicare card in order for their name and age to be validated.

If your child is eligible for a Medicare card, please contact Centrelink, Australian Government Department of Human Services to apply for one.

On completion of the application form, and if eligible, a voucher will be generated with the recipient’s name and a voucher code number.

I have submitted the application and I entered the incorrect height/weight details of my child. How do I change this?

Unfortunately, we cannot change your child's height/weight once the application has been submitted. You can provide the correct information next year when you apply for another voucher.

My child is already a member of a club. Can I still apply for voucher?

Yes, you can still apply for a voucher if the student/child is eligible. The club or providers must be approved and registered with Active Kids to accept the voucher.
