There is a  'pay on registration' policy, this is to minimise the financial risk the club runs with 'pay later' where a number of players simply do not pay at all.

If required, a payment scheme can be arranged - please contact Nicole on admin@fcnelson.co.nz to arrange this and get registered.  This will require the set up of a Direct Debit with a weekly payment.  

If you have any outstanding fees from previous seasons or programmes, these must be cleared before you can register for the winter season.


REGISTRATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED BY SUNDAY 22ND MARCH 2026!


We are looking forward to the season and seeing so many of our members and community out on the field.


IF YOU HAVE ANY REGISTRATION QUERIES OR ISSUES, PLEASE EMAIL NICOLE - admin@fcnelson.co.nz OR MANUEL - manuel@fcnelson.co.nz

PLAYING MEMBERS: 

All players must be registered to play football.   

Please note that payment is required to complete the full registration process.

NON PLAYING MEMBERS:

We ask that all parents/caregivers complete a separate registration form as “non playing members”.

This will enable parents/caregivers to access any member rewards programmes.

Please note – select “volunteer” under the role section, this is set by NZF and doesn’t require you to physically volunteer, however there is a section to complete if you are able to help, volunteer, coach etc this year.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

There are a number of Financial Assistance options available where appropriate to support the players in the community who may need some assistance - see our 'Financial Assistance Options' page - https://www.sporty.co.nz/fcnelson/our-club/financial-assistance-options?em=1
