  • Late registration fees cover administration costs for processing of late registrations checking residency for new players, ID photos are relevant and uploaded correctly, ensuring you are allocated to the correct team, team coaches & managers questions.

  • SSFA lock teams on 26th February and SSFA approval must be obtained when adding any additional players to an already registered team. Team grading commences by SSFA from this date, so it is important that all players are registered before this date.

SSFA charges clubs a $50 admin fee for all late registrations
