This policy sets out the responsibilities of club officials and players when administering players’ annual subscriptions.

• The committee will set the annual standard subscription for family and associate members prior to pre-season registration and will publish the details to the individual team managers.
• The club will utilise a certified digital payment platform, currently ‘TeamFeePay’, for the allocation and management of annual subscriptions. Members will be sent a team link to securely register with the chosen provider prior to the start of each season, or on joining the club.
• At the committee’s discretion, annual subscriptions paid in full by a set date may attract an early payment discount.
• An option to pay monthly will be available and this will be collected in ten equal payments, unless a bespoke arrangement has been agreed. The monthly option does not attract an early payment discount. Failure to maintain payments in line with the agreed schedule will result in the player being suspended from all club activities until the subscription is paid.
• Players registered from July through September will pay 100% of the annual subscription. Players registered in October pay 90%, November 80% and so on, with the final reduction in April, where the amount due will be 30% of the annual subscription.
• A discount of 25% will apply to the standard subscription where households have more than one child registered with the club. The discount applies to second and subsequent children only and can be combined with the early payment discount.
• A discount of approximately 40% will apply to the standard subscription where players register on a ‘training only’ basis and do not play in league matches. If the player subsequently registers to play in matches, a pro-rata amount of the full subscription becomes payable. This discount cannot be combined with any other discounts.
• Players unable to pay the club’s annual subscription due to personal circumstances can apply, in confidence, for club funding through the Club Welfare Officer (CWO). The CWO alone will recommend acceptance or rejection of the application to the committee and advise the applicant on the outcome. (Contact : [email protected]).
• Players who did not pay the due subscription for any season, and who did not apply for club funding, will not be allowed to re-register with the club for any subsequent season unless full payment for the current and unpaid seasons are made at the time of registration.
• Fines imposed by the County FA for on and off field offences must be paid within 14 days of the club issuing an invoice. Parents/carers are responsible for paying juniors fines (U18). The club has adopted a no-pay, no-play policy for outstanding fines throughout the club.
• Managers will collect match day fees from players, which will be used solely to pay referees fees on the day. There is no requirement to report on this income/expenditure.
• In general, annual subscriptions are non-refundable.
