REGISTRATION FEES SET AT £185 PER PLAYER FOR 2023/24

/in

Registration Fees have been set at £185 per player for the 2023/24 season

Sibling discount replaced with a Family Discount which has also been increased to £35 per player

Player registration fees for the new season have been set at £185, this represents an increase of just £10 on the previous year, in addition, the Club have replaced the Sibling Discount with a Family Discount to include adult family members who register with the club. This discount has been  increased to £35 for each family member, as such the cost to register a second, third or fourth family member remains at £150.

We have all been faced with increased costs over the past year and Frodsham JFC is no different. The Executive Committee have worked hard to keep any increase in fees to a minimum, and we believe that these fees still represent real value for money for our members, given the facilities and membership benefits our players have access to. In addition, these fees still place us as one of the cheapest junior football clubs to register with, in the Cheshire region.

Furthermore, the Club recently retained its FA 3-star accreditation (the highest FA accreditation available) to uphold our status as a leading grassroots club in the area. Building on this we want as many coaches as possible to have the FA  Level 1 or Introduction to Coaching qualification and a current First Aid qualification so that our players get the best experience possible.

All player registrations will again be processed through the Club website and will once more include the option of paying registration fees in full, or in ten monthly instalments.

The Registration Portal for the 2023/24 season will open in early July.

REGISTRATION FEES SET AT £175 PER PLAYER FOR THE NEW SEASON

/in

Registration Fees have been set at £175 per player for the 2022/23 season

Sibling discounts to remain at £25 per player

Player registration fees for the new season have been set at £175. This will be the first rise in registration fees at the Club in five years and is as a result of increased running costs faced by the Club.

As an Executive Committee we believe that these fees still represent real value for money for our members, especially with the facilities our players now have access to following the opening of the 3G and Changing Pavilion (CP) in October 2021. In addition, these fees still place us as one of the cheapest junior football clubs to register with in the Cheshire region.

The extra revenue generated will cover the Club’s increased running costs for the forthcoming season while generating a small budget for the Club to invest in further improvement projects such as the furnishing of the CP, the installation of external seating at the 3G and the creation of a secure goals compound for the grass pitches at Helsby High School. These are valuable and important contributions which parents and carers make to the future development of the Club and we thank you for your continued support.

The Club have retained the sibling discount of £25 for each sibling, a discount that was increased from £10 per player to £25 per player last season. As such the cost to register a second, third or fourth sibling is now £150 per child.

All player registrations will again be processed through the Club website and will once more include the option of paying registration fees in full, or in ten monthly instalments.

The Registration Portal for the 2022/23 season will open on Friday 10 June.
