Registration & Fees
Club Membership
A family club that genuinely welcomes all new players — and can’t wait to see our returning players back and raring to go.
We are a family club and genuinely welcome all new players who wish to appreciate our beautiful game in a fun and inclusive team environment. Of course, we would love to see all our returning players back and raring to go!
Any registration questions can be directed to our Registration team via our Contacts page. Otherwise, we look forward to welcoming you to Barnstoneworth.
Barnstoneworth has gone from strength to strength whilst always maintaining the spirit of playing the beautiful game with our mates. Established when soccer was really just a passing thought for most people, today soccer remains our passion — and we’re delighted to introduce or re-introduce others to the game we love.
Seniors
Barnstoneworth is a not-for-profit organisation. We base our fees on the lowest cost factor to keep the club financially viable and let our members play football. Senior registrations are completed by the Club — you don’t need to complete this yourself; the Club will ask for certain information to assist, so please provide it upon request.

Volunteer levy
To keep costs low we rely on active volunteering by parents. A $50 volunteer levy is added to all registration fees — refunded as a voucher (merchandise, club social events or the canteen) after a minimum of 8 hours volunteering. See How to get involved for more. The BUFC committee is committed to offering low-cost football participation whilst delivering a high-quality experience not available at other clubs.
