Photographs

Mandatory NEW photos are needed for ALL NEW players U10/W10 and older, and all U10/W10 players.  If the Photos do not meet the requirements as detailed in the link below, this will impact approval of your registration.

Financial Hardship and Family Discounts

Financial Hardship – We appreciate that there may be individuals or families who are experiencing financial hardship. The Rovers Committee would not want players to be unable to participate because they are in this predicament. If you are experiencing hardship, we request that you communicate directly with the President, Secretary or Registrar for their consideration of hardship assistance to allow you to play sport. Your circumstances will be kept strictly confidential. We will ensure your details and circumstances are kept private.

Dependent Family Discount Claim BEFORE Registering – All families (defined as ‘one or two parents/legal guardians and their dependent children’) with three or more players registering to play with Rovers may receive a $30 Family Discount per player if all the players register

Dependent children must be born in 2007 or later.  In cases that do not fit these general criteria, the Rovers Committee will consider approving the Family Discount on a case-by-case basis.

Note that players claiming a ‘Life Member Discount’ may not claim the Family Discount for themselves.  However, they may be counted as part of a family to allow the other family members to claim their Family Discount. For example, if a life member’s two children also play for the Rovers, he/she can claim a ‘Life Member Discount’ and $60 Family Discount.

Please send your application for the Family Discount (or any other enquiries) by email to the Rovers Registrar Joe Parsons:  registrar@roversfc.com.au  BEFORE you commence registration for any family members.  The email MUST include the full names (including surnames) of the family members playing for the Rovers in 2026. 

Late Registration – Sutherland Shire Football Association administration fee of $50 will apply to all player registrations U12 and above received after 23/02/2026.
