Parents, before players apply for membership please read the following Club values, principles, and rules and the Club & FA Respect Codes of Conduct.

Please remember that membership ensures only training. No player is guaranteed to be selected for a match, while on other occasions a player may travel to a match, but for whatever reason, may not actually get a game.

If Club membership ceases for any reason it will be your responsibility to ensure that all items of kit, which have been provided and bear the Club logo are returned to the Club otherwise you will be expected to reimburse the Club for the cost of replacement.
Club Officials are not responsible for players once they leave the training/playing area.
