FC Bath PLAYER REGISTRATION GUIDELINES - 2022/23

• Get registered for the start of the Season

To be registered for the start of the coming season you will need to complete the FC Bath Player Registration Form by 6pm Sunday  12th June 2022 (existing FC Bath players) and 6pm Sunday 26th June (NEW players).

We cannot guarantee that any player registering after these dates will have a place in a team and be registered with The FA/League ready for the start of the season., although we will do our best!

The Pre-season registration is a requirement of The FA and the County Football Leagues.

• Existing FC Bath Players - Registration

If you played for FC Bath last season please follow these steps:

1. Complete the FC Bath Player Registration Form.

You will be emailed by the club within 48 hours to confirm your Registration and to provide you with payment details for the Player Team Fee.

2.  Pay the Player Team Fee by bank transfer.

Team Fees will need to be paid by bank transfer and have been received before we can complete your Registration with the Club, The FA and the County League. 

• Player Team Fee

£60 - when joining the team in first half of the season (between September and before Jan. 1st)

£30 - when joining the team in the second half of the season (after 1st Jan.)   

The Player Team Fee is a critical contribution towards the numerous costs of running your club/team. These club/team costs include:

• FA & League Affiliation/Registration Fees
• Public Liability / Personal Accident Insurance
• Pitch / Referee Hire
• Team Equipment:  Goals, Balls, Bibs, First Aid Kit etc
• Cost of sending Team Managers on compulsory FC courses/checks, e.g DBS/First Aid/ and Basic Coaching Course
• Club kit for Team Managers (Tracksuit, winter coat etc)
• FC Bath Club Running Costs

Regional Tournaments (NO player fee this season)

Player Team Fee will also provide each team with a budget of £100 for attending approx. 3 Regional Tournaments so there will be no cost to players attending. In previous seasons players were asked to pay for attending Regional Tournaments, in addition to Player Team Fee.

• Coaching Fee
  

NOTE : The Team Fee does not include the cost of Football Coaching sessions which are delivered independently by our Professional Coaching Partner, Sport Bath Ltd .. FC Bath has chosen to use Sport Bath's football coaching school, SOCCER FOOTBALL COACHING [SFC] , because they deliver an excellent coaching environment thanks to their highly qualified and experienced children's football coaches.  Find out more about the SFC

3. After we have received your Player Team Fee you will be emailed by a Team Manger to confirm your place in their team. and details for the season. 

NOTE : Team Managers and Club Officials are all volunteers with full-time jobs, they will aim to get back to you at the earliest opportunity. Please allow up to 7 days to receive a confirmation email from the Team Manager. 

• FC Bath Team Kit

4.  The Team Manager will inform you whether the existing team kit is being continued next season or whether you will need to purchase a new shirt/kit, as well as options for shirt numbers etc..

NOTE : Team kits are likely to change each season because the shirt sponsor might change or because the previous season's kit has been discontinued by the manufacturer. FC Bath will always try to keep a kit running for as long as possible in order to reduce the financial cost for parents.
