Registrations
You want soccer back. We want soccer back. Even the ball is bored of sitting in the shed.
Sadly, kicking off early gets you a red card from Father Time. So, take a deep breath, stop staring at your old jersey, and glare at these numbers instead:

Registrations at Plumpton Oakhurst Soccer Club for the 2027 winter season opens in January 2027. Detailed information about the current registration process, fees and age groups is provided below.
Once you are ready, please go to This link.
Priority is given to returning players who register & pay prior to February 1 (although a place is not guaranteed), then new players on a first-come, first-served basis until all teams in the age group are filled.
Registrations
Registrations are completed via the national PlayFootball registration system, which is managed by Football Australia/Football NSW. Dribl will still be used for competition management (match sheets, etc.). As a result, please make sure you carefully read the information and links below to assist with registration.
Once you are ready to begin, please go to the play football website to register. Alternatively, click on the link at the top of the homepage to begin the registration process.
Registration Process

Dribl will still be used for competition management (match sheets, etc.). As a result, please make sure you carefully read the information and links below to assist with registration.
Once you’re ready, please go here to begin a registration: PlayFootball POSC.
The registration system used by Plumpton Oakhurst Soccer Club is PlayFootball.
Helpful guides on how to register in PlayFootball are available here:
Parents & Carers will be able to use their own accounts to register multiple children, you do not need to create a separate account for each child.
If registering your child(ren) under your account, please ensure you enter THEIR name in the appropriate fields.
The guides also outline how you can track/amend your registrations once they’re submitted.
Please remember to obtain your Active Kids Voucher(s) – if applicable – BEFORE you start the player registration process for your children. You will be asked to enter the voucher number during the registration process. Details on how to obtain a voucher are in the “Active Kids Voucher” section on this page.
It’s important that players register in the correct age group. For juniors, age groups are based on the age a player will turn during 2027, regardless of which day or month. For example, a player born 14/12/2013 turns 14 in 2027 and will therefore play in U14s.
In some instances, a player may play up a year if they’re wanting to play with older friends or are graded that way. If this is the case, please ensure you select the appropriate age group when registering – e.g. a child turning 9 in 2026 may be registering to play in an U10 team, therefore you should select to register in U10 MIXED.
A player cannot register into an age group younger than themselves.
Photos will need to be uploaded when individuals register:
Photos for all Players and Team Officials will be mandatory at the time of registration in the new system, otherwise they cannot finalise their registrations.
Photos must meet the guidelines specified, i.e. a recent passport-style headshot with no face coverings (sunglasses, hats, etc.).
If you (or the person you are registering) wears glasses to play, the photo must include the glasses used for sport. Please ensure you are aware of restrictions regarding the type of eyewear that can be worn.
To start the registration process please go here: PlayFootball Registration POSC.
Proof of ID
All new players (or those who haven’t yet provided it) will be required to provide a proof of age document. This will be followed up by the club separately to the registration process.

Junior players (4.5 to 18) can take advantage of the NSW Active Creative Kids Voucher Program, which is a $50 rebate on registration fees for eligible activites for each school-aged child that meets the criteria. Details about the program can be found here: NSW Office of Sport – Active Kids.
Please note that refund of the Active Creative Kids voucher is not possible: Once a voucher has been applied to a registration, neither BDFC nor Service NSW are able to provide a refund of the voucher if registration is cancelled or modified for any reason, including for change of mind or mistaken redemption. You should carefully consider use of your voucher if there will be any reason for you to consider cancelling your registration.

It’s important that players register in the correct age group. For juniors, age groups are based on the age a player will turn during the year of the relevant season, regardless of which day or month. For the 2027 Winter season for example, a player born 14/12/2013 turns 14 in 2026 and should therefore register in the U14s. If they are playing up a year then they should register for U15s.
A player cannot register into an age group younger than themselves.
For All Age teams, a player must be turning 18 or above during the year in order to qualify.
Returning players that meet the following criteria are prioritised but not guaranteed a place in their preferred (or any) team in the new season:
if you played with the club in the previous season (including if they had to withdraw during the previous season due to injury)
complete registration and payment by February 1
If registration is not completed (including payment) by February 1, returning players will then rank equally with new players, although the club reserves its right to override this if necessary
If all spots in an age group (or a preferred team) are filled and there are returning players still unallocated (that had registered by February 1), priority will be given to them over new players, although the club reserves its right to override this if necessary
best efforts will be made to place unallocated returning players into another team or eligible age group if possible
Players are considered new if they have never registered with Plumpton Oakhurst Soccer Club before or did not play for POSC in the previous season. Players that registered and paid the previous season but had to subsequently withdraw due to injury are considered as returning.
New players must consult with the Registrar to determine team placement. A personal invitation from a Coach, Manager, or other parents does not guarantee placement into a team.
Players who have registered but not paid will not be assured of a place in a team until full payment is received.
Football NSW and BDSFA rules state that a player can only register with one club, and only one team within that club, per winter season. We understand how some players would relish the chance to play even more football every weekend (who wouldn’t!), but unfortunately we cannot accommodate multiple registrations for a single player.
If they are invited to, players are allowed to fill in (be ‘borrowed’) for another team if they are short on players for a particular match. There are strict rules and eligibility policies around the borrowing of players – the Team Manager will be aware of these and will advise accordingly if this situation arises. Breaching these rules can lead to subtantial sanctions and fines.
