Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do payment plans?
If you have a ZipPay account you are able to generate a one off card which you pay off in instalments. Payment plans are not something we generally offer, but contact registrarsawtellfc@gmail.com to discuss your options.
Who do I contact regarding registration and teams?
Kim Grech is our Registrar. This means that she deals with all things registration. She is also the person assigning Junior Non-Comptetitive Registration and some Junior Competitive teams. Her email is registrarsawtellfc@gmail.com
How do I know when my team is playing?
You will need to download the Squadi App and register your details. Once you are following your team it will provide up to date information. Otherwise you can follow our social media platforms- although they may not always show current information.
When does the season start?
Registration opens from January 5th 2026, it closes around the middle of February.
Senior training begins in January, Junior training begins in March, the games are April- September. You will be contacted by your Childs individual coach regarding specific dates/ days of training.
How do I find field closures?
Field closures are usually updated on local council websites- however these are not always up to date. Your coach will have direct contact with the club President, who will pass on this information as it becomes available. Please note this is sometimes very close to your game as we always try and play games if the fields have dried out. You can also follow our social media accounts.
Why are some fields closed and others open?
Depending on how much rain an area gets, some fields may be more wetter than others. Some fields are higher on hills and have good drainage, others are lower and water sits on them for longer.
Also- some fields are not owned by council- so clubs are able to decide whether they'd like to play on them or not. Our club fields are council owned and they are the ones who decide whether to shut the fields.
Other general questions...
Q- What are uniform requirements?
A- Each child will need to purchase green shorts and socks from our gear link. Shirts are provided and teams wash their shirts.
Q- My child is gifted at soccer. Can they play up?
A- The evidence is that playing up doesn't always help player development and we would normally encourage players to play in their relevant age groups. There are also some restrictions in playing up but these vary with age groups and genders. It's best to contact the registrar with your specific questions.
Jewellery/ Undershirt Policy
There is a no jewellery policy within football. Earrings have to be removed, they are not allowed to be covered.
Undershirts and skins also have to be the same colour as the main colour of your kit. If 2 people are wearing different colours referees may ask one of the players to change. Please note- these are policies set for us, we as a club do not determine these policies, but must abide by them.
