Rochester United Signing on fee's and subs
Your manager is responbsible for setting and colllecting your Signing on Fee and subs. These pay for everything that your child will need as a player.
In agreeing to become a player with Rochester United you enter a contract with your manager. Failure to pay subs can lead to your childs suspension and possible separation from the club.
It is your responsibility to set up and maintain payments.
- Should you ever feel you are having problems with payments please advise your team manager.
- All fees are to be paid up prior to the club releasing any transfer forms during the season.
Why do we need subs?
All the officials, managers and coaches are volunteers; however, we still have to collect subs to cover the expenses we incur as a Club. Without subs, quite simply Rochester United FC Youth would not exist.
To ensure your son /daughter is able to train and then play at the weekend costs many thousands of pounds a year.
What do the subs pay for?
- Playing Kits
- Pitches (training and matchdays)
- Referees' fees
- Insurance
- League Affiliations
- KCFA & FA Affiliation
- Renewal of football equipment (balls, bibs, cones etc.)
- Paying for volunteers' development, DBA checks and coaching courses.
All subs and signing on fees contribute to paying for the items and services on this list.
In the event of a player or the team folding:
- Subs will be payable until the final match and/ or training session took place, irrespective of whether you attended or not.
- You may also be required to return the Club badged kit. Kit is the
property of the club and not team or individual irrespective of who pays for it. It has a value and thus non return may lead to a debt that will prevent a player signing for another club until settled. .
Please note: Under KCFA & FA League rules, a player who leaves a club owing money is banned from registering and playing for any other team until their balance is settled. A player, who intends to leave a club for another mid season, needs the permission of the club he/she is currently registered with.
This will not be given until all financial matters are settled.
