player registration
It's registration time at SHFC for Youth & Senior players and you can now register online at https://www.playfootball.com.au/register.
Paying registration fees early is of huge benefit to us. Our volunteer coaches, committee and above all Treasurer will be enormously thankful.
Please consider registering early and help your Club kick off 2020.
Junior players will need to be fully registered by date TBA to be eligible to play in a South Hobart FC team playing in the CRJFA roster.
Costs involved in fielding teams include the FT/CRJFA team nomination fees, ground hire, first aid kits, administrative expenses, medallions (all junior players and premiership winning teams), trophies (youth and senior teams), referee costs (youth and senior games) and facilities hire (Wellesley and Darcy Street).
Player Registration Fees do not include the cost of our end of year Club Awards Dinner for our youth and senior teams — which is run on a cost recovery basis of around $80/head and is not a fundraiser — or any costs associated with youth and junior tournaments (eg. Summer series, Cup competitions ) or any training with Morton’s Soccer School (which is optional for youth players).
Please note that payment by credit card may incur a 1.8% fee.
We hope that you will register your children to play for SHFC this year. After our success in past years, 2020 is certainly shaping up to be an exciting year.

confirmation of registration
Your Club registration is pending until the Club Registrar completes the final step of accepting your registration after payment has been made. You will NOT be registered to play until the Club Registrar has completed this step. You can monitor your registration status by logging into Playfootball and viewing your Registration Status on the Registration Details page.
refund policy
Refunds are available on the Club component of the fee in the event of extenuating circumstances — such as serious season ending injury or interstate relocation. The FT/FFA component of the fee is not refundable as the Club merely collects and passes that onto FT/FFA. Refunds are NOT available when a player changes their mind about playing for the Club.

playing for south
Every cent of your player registration fees goes directly into football.
You get to play football in organised competitions recognised ultimately by FIFA, insurance cover as a player and/or as a volunteer, club support, quality training with qualified coaches and facilities. Plus all registered South Hobart players get free ground entry to all our Mens National Premier League home games at Darcy Street. For juniors this includes one adult who takes you to games.
South Hobart FC is a not for profit community club with no paid employees and total reliance on volunteers. Sources of income are limited to player registrations, fundraising — including volunteers operating the canteen — and sponsorships. Sometimes we are gifted funds from loyal supporters.
Wellesley Park is owned by the Hobart City Council (HCC). It has undergone extensive redevelopment over recent years which has been covered by successive Liberal and Labor Governments and the HCC through specific purpose grants. These funds are not accessible to our Club. South Hobart Oval ( Darcy St) has been earmarked for much needed new lighting & clubrooms incorporating female player & referee changerooms , all access toilets & canteen subject to extensive community consultation , HCC approval & funding.
qualified coaches
At SHFC we would like all players to be guided on match day by FFA qualified coaches. The reality is that for our junior teams we will rely on parents to volunteer in coaching roles on match days, however, do not want these few parents both giving up their time and being lumped with the cost of becoming accredited. This is a cost that we believe should be shared by everyone and as such it has been incorporated in the junior registration fees. Please contact Victoria Morton if you are interested in a junior coaching role. We will need one parent for each junior team. SHFC will endeavour to support this parent by having our coaching players attend games, but this will be subject to their own playing commitments.
working with children requirements
Parents, if you plan on assisting with any team (as a team manager or match day coach) that has children under the age of 18 in it, you will need to register as a volunteer with South Hobart FC and apply to have a compulsory "Working with Children" check done as per South Hobart FC policy. The cost is $18.60 and the club is happy to refund you if you provide us with a copy of your receipt. To finalise your registration as a volunteer you will need to text or email a photo of your 'Working with Children Card' to our Registrar Ricky Oates.
junior team info
Also included in our Junior Registration fees for 2020 is free entry for one adult accompanying a registered junior player to SHFC Mens National Premier League home matches. This is because many of our juniors attend as ball boys or to play at half time. This means a parent/guardian accompanying a registered junior player will not have to pay entry fees at the gate for any 2020 Mens National Premier League games played at Darcy Street.
youth team info
This year we will be fielding teams across a range of youth age groups from U13 boys & Junior Youth Girls thru to U18 boys competitions.
At SHFC we are committed to increasing player numbers from CRJFA to club age groups & offer a specialised Junior Youth Girls program (Under13/14) directly aimed at this .
For information regarding this please contact our Girls Co Ordinator Mel French.
senior team info
We have secured generous sponsorships that cover our Mens NPL TAS licence fee of around $10,000 per year which is a separate fee to the other nomination fees the Club must pay. Unlike wealthier clubs, none of our senior players receive any remuneration for playing for us (we simply cannot afford this). Players come to SHFC because of our success, professional reputation, quality coaching, family-like atmosphere, and the spirit of friendship.
2020 is also the 3rd that our senior women's team will compete in the Womens Super League. This is the top tier women's competition in the state and provides a player pathway for talented female football players seeking to play at the top level. There will also be a women's team competing in the Womens Southern Championship 1 this year.
support our teams
As a club we have fantastic fans & we encourage everyone to get along & support all our teams. There is no gate entry fee charged to children aged 12 and under. Persons aged 13 and over are required to pay entry fees for all Mens National Premier League (NPL TAS) and Mens Southern Championship home games. However, if you are a registered player for South Hobart Football Club in the 2020 season you do not need to pay for entry to any Mens NPL TAS matches played at Darcy Street. Entry to Womens Super League & Womens Championship 1 is free to all.
player pathways
Everyone is welcome to play at our Club and if you are aged 13 and over in 2020 you will need to sign up for our Academy Programs, provided by our development partner Morton's Soccer School (MSS), to play for us.
