Player support: every player is expected to help - do not shy away! - whether in an official role (below), helping with training equipment, setting up on match day, running the line, putting together a BBQ, or helping on a subcommittee.

Referees: FV appointed referees are provided however on occasion when they are unavailable a player (not part of the squad) must step in (for home games).
ITC (U12+): If you have previously played and registered overseas for a football Club your registration may take a little longer.
