The registration process

In order to register your child as a player for Pinnstars FC we need to obtain certain information about you as a parent/guardian and then the player. To do this, we need you to complete the online registration; it should take no more than 10 minutes. (note documents will be requested so that we can register you child to play in the league season)

The process is up-to 3 simple steps.

  • Step 1 – Pitchero registration
  • Step 2 – Evidence of date of birth
  • Step 3 – Current photo

To complete this process you will need

  • A current digital passport photo (please check the guideline on step 3)
  • A photocopy of their birth certificate or passport
