We are pleased to announce that we will be opening Summer Football Team Registrations shortly. The competition will kick off on Tuesday 10th October 2023 and run for 18 weeks, with a break over the Christmas period.

This year, to thank those that have played with us previously, there will be two phases to the Team Registration process.

Phase 1

On July 15th, we will start accepting Team Registration Requests.

For this phase each team must have a minimum of seven (7) players, five (5) of which must either have played in last year season’s Summer competition or be currently playing in this season Winter’s competition for WFC.

To submit your registration, you must:

  • Complete the Team Registration Form that will be available on our website, under the ‘Summer Football’ tab
  • List a minimum of seven (7) players on your team list (see the registration form for Phase 1 eligibility criteria)·
  • Submit your form via email by Sunday 30th July

 

At this point, the Committee will determine if we have reached the maximum number of teams that we are able to accommodate, based on the field allocations we have received from the Northern Beaches Council.

Phase 2

If we have not reached the maximum number of teams, we will then start accepting Team Registration Requests from anyone who was not eligible for Phase 1 (and anyone else who missed the initial period).

To submit your registration, you must:

  • Complete the Team Registration Form that will be available on our website, under the ‘Summer Football’ tab.
  • List a minimum of seven (7) players on your team list.
  • Submit your form via email by Tuesday 15th August

 

Important things to note:

  • Submitting your team list does not guarantee a place in the competition. You will receive an E-mail confirmation once this has been determined.
  • If a particular age group is over-subscribed in Phase 1 or subsequently in Phase 2, you may be informed that we have been unable to offer your team a place in the competition.
  • If we do not receive adequate team numbers for a particular age group after Phase 2, you may be informed that we have been unable to offer your team a place in the competition.
  • The competition draw is a dynamic one (generated each week) with the sole aim of having as many similar ability teams playing each other as possible. This means we don’t necessarily have a certain number of teams per age group, and a combination of similar ability teams will determine when we reach team capacity.
  • Wakehurst FC Summer Football does not put teams together. We rely on teams to put themselves together. If an individual is looking to join a team, we will publish on our website an anonymous list of players seeking teams. If team managers are looking for additional players, we will share the contact details with the relevant parties.
  • We use the Team Registration Form to custom order the playing kit for each individual player so please ensure it is completed accurately, as we are unable to change sizes once your order is submitted.
  • Player registrations will open mid-August.
  • Each team must have ALL players registered by 30th August. In the event we have reached our maximum number of teams, any team that fails to have players registered by the due date may be withdrawn from the competition and their place offered to a team on the waitlist.
