Player Registrations

Play Football 2025 Registration System

If you registered with any football club in Australia in 2019 -2024 you will already have a Play Football log-in which you will use again.
If this is your first year with the Play Football system, you will be prompted to create a Football Account prior to completing your/your child’s registration. Your account is created by using your email address or Google login.
More information on registering is at the bottom of this page. Please refer to this prior to commencing your registration as Play Football have released a new version this year so the registration process is different from previous years.

Payment of Player Registration Fees

Fees are to be paid online through Play Football at the time of registration by selecting the relevant package. Payment can be processed via VISA or MASTERCARD.
If you are unable to pay using this method please contact registrar@gufc.org.au prior to commencing the registration process to discuss other options including payment plans. Title your email “Alternative Payment Options Please”

Player Eligibility

To be eligible in Round 1 of the 2025 competition all players must be made “Active” in Play Football one week prior to the relevant competition start date. It is the responsibility of each player/parent to ensure they have completed all actions to be made “Active”.
To be considered “Active”, the player registration payment must be received in full or registration with an approved payment plan must be completed.
Players not “Active” will not be able to compete until their registration is resolved. Coaches and Managers of all teams will be notified of eligible players prior to Round 1 commencing.
If a player registers after the competition begins the same rules apply, however if full payment is received and their registration is processed prior to Friday 12 noon that player will be eligible to play the following day provided they have been assigned to a team

PLAYER PACKAGE REGISTRATION FEES

Please ensure you know which package you should be registering in before you get started.

Performance teams: SAP, Pathways, National Premier League Women (NPLW), National Premier League Men (NPLM), and National Premier League Boys and Girls (NPLB and NPLG), are all performance teams/programs that were selected via a trial/selection process in late 2024. The Performance Team coordinator will contact players about their registration and payment process. If you have not been selected in a performance team, please do not select this type of registration package in the ‘Play Football’ system.

Community teams: please follow the steps below.
Register in a Community package relevant to your age group. Ages are grouped in the table below in accordance with fee structure. This does not necessarily mean that’s how ages will be “grouped” for playing purposes. Mixed teams will remain as individual age groups (Under 5, Under 6s, Under 7s etc.) whereas girls’ teams in our MiniRoos competition will likely be grouped as per previous years (U5-U7 & U8-U9), depending on number of registrations.

TEAM REGISTRATIONS AND NOMINATIONS

Ages 5-9 MiniRoos – complete teams can be registered by their coach or manager using our Team Nomination form. If you have a couple of players in the MiniRoos age groups who would like to play together but don’t yet have a team, please complete our “Play with a Friend” form. Note: you will need to register with GUFC before filling out this form and ensure any nominated friends are also registered so our Age Group Coordinators can take your request into consideration.
Community Juniors (U10 – U18) can register a team for Division 3 only (Divisions 1 and 2 are selected via the Grading process held in February each year).

When registering a team, you must provide ALL of the information required including names, ages and FFA numbers of each team members. We cannot process your team registration without these details. Individual players in the team will still need to be registered via Play Football as they cannot be confirmed in a team until they are registered.
