There is a significant change to the registration process for this season. The Sutherland Shire Football Association (SSFA) in conjunction with the Football Federation of Australia (FFA) now require all registrations to be processed through an online system.
To register you have two options:
Self-register online from Monday 6th February to Thursday 16th February
Come to a registration day on Thursday 9th February 5-7pm or Saturday 11th February 9-11am at Bundeena Bowling Club.
Self-registration
Anyone can self-register using the new online system, whether you are a returning player or a new player. On the online system you can register, pay your fees online or print and invoice to pay manually, and upload your own photo for your match card (under 10s and above only).
Fees may be paid online using Visa or Mastercard during the online registration process, or you may print an invoice and pay the fees via cash or cheque or bank deposit.
If you are a new player in 2012 you can still register and pay your fees online. However you will also be required to bring proof of age (original birth certificate or passport) to one of the registration days, along with printed confirmation of your registration. Your registration cannot be processed unless proof of age is sighted.
If you would prefer to register in person, we are holding two registration days at Bundeena Bowling Club.
Thursday 9th February 5-7pm
Saturday 11th February 9-11am
If you have not previously registered with SSFA, you will need to bring proof of age (original birth certificate or passport) to registration.
Payment of fees is required at registration and can be paid by cash, cheque or direct deposit.
Please note -until fees are paid, players are not covered by the player's insurance and will not be permitted to train or play matches.
Photographs
All photographs have been preloaded to the new system. There is no requirement for new photos to be taken unless it's deemed there is a significant difference.
All new players under 10 and over and all players entering under 10s will require photos. You may upload your own photo (headshot only - all photos must be approved before registration can be processed) or photos can be taken at registration days.
Terms and conditions
When registering you will be required to accept the terms and conditions, please read these and acknowledge acceptance as required.

Dependant family registration discount
A dependant family discount of $20.00 for the 3rd and subsequent family members is available. This is solely for the use of families who are paying for dependant children. It is to help parents who are trying to enable themselves/children to participate in sport together. It is not for independent siblings to claim. Discounts will only apply in the registration period; no discounts will be available for late registrations.
Late registrations
There is a late registration fee of $30.00 for anyone registering after 16th February 2012. Late registrations will be accepted only at the discretion of the management committee and are subject to team vacancies.
Payment by EFTPOS/credit card
The club has no EFTPOS or credit card facilities other than through the online payment system. Direct deposit to the club's bank account is available and details are included on your printable invoice.
Team allocation
Once registrations have closed the Committee will allocate players to teams. Where possible players will be allocated to teams within their age group, however please be aware that as we are a small club, sometimes this is not possible due to surplus/insufficient numbers. Our aim is to find a team for everyone who registers to play. In some instances this may require players playing in a team above their age.
Coaching or managing teams
Each team will need to find a coach and a manager. If you are interested in coaching, assisting in coaching or managing a team please indicate your preference during registration, or tell one of the Registrars at a registration day, or email
Committee vacancies
The club is run by volunteers who form the Committee. We currently have several positions on the Committee that need to be filled. A couple of positions are so important that, if they remain vacant, we will not be able to commence the season.
Please look at the following positions and consider whether you can take one of these on. Some positions involve one-off, but important tasks, while others are ongoing through the season.
POSITIONS THAT URGENTLY NEED TO BE FILLED
Canteen Manager (paid position) - manages the canteen Sat/Sun for home games (max. 9 weekends in the season)
Roo Ball Coordinator - keeps on top of Roo Ball matters (ie under 9 and younger) and coordinates Roo Ball referees
OTHER POSITIONS
Assistant Secretary - assists the Secretary with correspondence, mostly via email
Vice President - assists the President
Presentation Day Coordinator - organises Presentation Day (usually in September) including trophies/medals, rides/jumping castle and works with Canteen Manager to coordinate BBQ
If you are interested in helping out, please email
Training
Training is organised by each team Coach/Manager at a time that is mutually convenient. Once teams are finalised, you will be sent a list of team members. Parents/guardians from each team are expected to take on Coach and Manager roles, and arrange training times.
Uniforms
Uniforms (shirts, shorts and socks) are available for purchase from the Gear Steward. A Uniform Day will be advised shortly when uniforms will be sold.
Season commences on the weekend 24th/25th March 2012.
