All players must register online, however, players new to football and/or new to football in the Sutherland Shire are also required to attend the advertised registration day to provide appropriate documentation for proof of residency and identification. Registration for new players will be held at THE WHO CLUBHOUSE – Willaroo Avenue, Woronora Heights NSW 2233 on the following days:

Wednesday 9th February 2022 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Players are reminded that registrations received after the 20th February 2022 will depend purely on team vacancies. As a returning player, you will still be able to lodge your application online however acceptance for registration will occur only if there is a vacancy in the age group/team you are applying for & the full registration fee will apply.
After 2 years of disrupted season’s BOSCO FC has decided to provide heavy discounts to ALL registrations for the 2022 season. These discounts are partly made available through the reduction of the SSFA’s fee to the club being reduced to $1 per player along with shortened seasons previous. NOTE: Fees will revert to standard pricing in 2023.

2022 Fees Reference:
The registration fee includes the St. John Bosco Youth Centre Levy, Match Fees, Sutherland Shire Football Association and Football NSW Association Fees, Football Australia Fees (increased) & club costs.
The Full Registration (SSFA discount removed) applies if registration is completed after midnight on the 20th February 2022.
As fees are already discounted we are not offering any Student rates for 2022.
For 2022 U12-U16 new registrations will receive a free issue uniform (shorts, socks & “loan shirt”)
A “4th player Family Discount” applies to the fourth and subsequent family members with the discounted Registration Fee being a flat rate of $60 (early bird rate) providing the fourth member is under the age of 18. The discount applies to the youngest family members first and only applies to family members residing at the same address. Please note: There is a 4th player option to “select” when registering on-line.
All new Sutherland Shire Football Association players must present an original birth certificate, Passport or Driver’s License at the time of registration. This does not apply to Nursery Squad players. A birth certificate extract is acceptable; however, photocopies cannot be accepted. All new players will also need to produce proof of residency in the Sutherland Shire at the time of registration. The SSFA require either a Driver’s License (unaltered since issue) or a government or financial institution document (not including phone bills). For a child not living in the Sutherland Shire but attends a Sutherland Shire school, a letter provided by the school stating attendance in 2022 is sufficient evidence.
We will have EFTPOS, MasterCard and Visa card payment facilities available on the registration days. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept payment through Diners or American Express.
Player’s Uniforms
All players registered in the U21s and older age groups will be required to purchase their own shirts, shorts and socks. The complete uniform will be theirs to keep, so they will be responsible to replace or repair it if it becomes lost or damaged.
Players registered in the U12 to U16 age groups will receive a free issue uniform for 2022. This includes a pair of shorts and socks along with the loan shirt as per below note.
Players that are given loan shirts will have their shirts issued by the manager of their team closer to the start of the season. At the end of the season the manager will collect the shirts and advise the Committee who has not returned their shirts. Players that do not return their shirts will be charged the cost of a replacement shirt.
Failure to pay for shirts that were not returned may render the player ineligible to register for the next season, until the payment is made. If you still have any “loaned shirts” at home please bring them with you on the registration days, as we will need them to make up kits for 2022. A copy of the Club’s Uniform and Equipment Policy can be found on our web site.
Product | Details | Price |
Socks | All sizes | $15 |
Shorts | All sizes | $25 |
Shirts | U21s and older age groups only | $35 |
Full Kit | Shirt/Socks/Shorts (ages 21 and over) | $65 |
These items and other merchandise will be on sale at the registration days. There will be other opportunities prior to the season’s kickoff where these items will be available for purchasing at the Woronora Heights Oval Clubhouse (please check the website for further details.)

The Club encourages all those interested in assisting the Club as a Coach, Manager and/or Ground Appointed Referee to complete the nomination form available on the registration days.
