The FA has introduced https://myaccount.thefa.com/ to simplify the player registration process. This site allows you to:
1) Provide player photos, necessary for player registration cards;
2) Validate that the data we have on file is correct, especially date of birth;
3) Let us know about any medical conditions that your child has;
4) Provide parental consent for your child to play for St Francis Rangers Youth FC.
Why Register?
– Player photos are required each season, registering makes the process much faster and ensures that your child does not miss the registration deadline to play in leagues;
– Parental consent lasts for 5 years if provided via myaccount but only lasts one year if it is provided offline;
– Our club has hundreds of players to register and it is a considerable administative overhead for club volunteers, where your assistance helps spread the load.
