EASTBOURNE BOROUGH YOUTH FOOTBALL CLUB - GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL AT ITS FINEST

Why Register ?

The club operates a member registration scheme which serves a number of purposes;

First and foremost, it ensures that we have contact details for the children. Coaches regularly need to ring you with changes to training times/venues, team selection news etc. and without full details, the club cannot provide them with up-to-date contact information.
Once registered, the child's name is automatically added to our extensive mailing list which ensures that he or she will receive all newsletters and club bulletins "hot off the press".
All Leagues, the F.A. and individual club tournament rules require membership of the club before any child can register to play. Amongst all the things they have to remember, this fact is easily forgotten by Coaches when sorting-out teams, but when overlooked can involve the club in costly fines, lost points (in the case of league teams) and even F.A. disciplinary proceedings.
Perhaps most importantly of all, the membership register maintains a database of medical information which is held by the Coaches in the event of an accident. Simple bits of info like "Johnny has mild asthma" or "he is allergic to sticking plasters" can make all the difference in the unfortunate event of a child being hurt whilst in our care.

First fill-out the application for membership and hand it in along with the registration fee to your child's coach. You can find out if your child is registered by checking with their age group coach who has a regularly updated "tick list" which lists all registered members. If they are not on the list they are not registered and should not play.

Up to date membership fees for this season are U6 £15/U7-U11 £20/U12 & above £25.

Whilst some parents (particularly with a number of children at the Club) may find this figure high, there are a number of ways we can assist if asked. Please don't hesitate!

Finally, we try to run the Club with as much support and consensus as possible. If there's any aspect of your child's' involvement about which you're not entirely satisfied, please let either the team coach, Bill Wheatley or a committee member know as soon as possible. We've learnt that we can't live up to everyone's expectations - but that doesn't stop us trying!
