2c)Q. Can I join on my own or do I need to enter with a team?
A. All of our entries are team entries. Individual players usually come down on the night they want to play and ask the teams if they need any extra players.

3a)Q. a) What does it cost to enter a team?

A. Yes, the Futsal season runs from Sept 08 to end of Aug 09.

3d) Q. I am registered for Futsal, do I need to register again?
A. You only have to register once in a current season with FootballNSW Futsal. You can play in as many approved comps as you want all over NSW at any time in the season. You would have to reregister for the 2008/09 season.

3e) Q.What is the registration fee for?
A. The registration fee is levied by FootballNSW on all players that play at approved centres. Part of your registration fee is also for a once off 5 year Anzac Club membership. Both of these components are compulsory if you wish to play. North Sydney Futsal doesnt add any registration fee to this.

3f) Q. I am a member of the Anzac Club, what do I need to pay?
A. Only the FootballNSW registration component of the player registration

3f) Q. If I play in More than one team do I have to pay registration again?
A. No, an individual only needs to pay the registration fee once per season regardless of how many teams/nights they may play on.

4a) Q. How do I enter team?
A. Download a registration form and complete the details. If you are missing any details like Futsal ID or FFA numbers you may leave it blank and fill it out later. Follow the instructions on the form.

4b) Q. When does my registration form/ payment need to be in by?
A. Teams currently playing again have first choice for the new season, usually up to the end of rounds of the current season. After that it's open to all new entries on a first in first served basis.

4c) Q. What payment options are there?
A. Credit cards- Visa or Mastercard. Cheque or Electronic Funds transfer.

4d) Q. I need to collect payment off my team, can I enter and pay on the first game?
A. There have been too many teams withdrawing at the last minute or failing to turn up all together. From Sept 2008 ALL entries must be accompanied with a payment for the team. Player registrations are refundable/transferable in full if the player hasn't played, so the team list can be changed up until the first game.

4e) Q. Can we pay individually on the first night?
A. In general no. It would be too time consuming and inefficient to collect everyones fees on their first game especially on an individual basis. The best way is for the team manager to collect or organise the details and payment (or CC details from everyone ) and submit it with the registration form.

4e) Q. When are the cut off dates for the 2008 season?
A. First preference is given to existing teams who register up until the last round of their season. Email first to see what plaes are available.

4a) Q. How is the competition structured?
A. It is divided into a weekday competition, so that you play onthe same day throughout the competition. Then each night has its own graded divisions

A. Most weekday comps kick off at 630. The final kick off is at 9pm. If there is a problem with certain times please advise the administrator for your competition when the draw is up.

4c) Q. Does the standard vary netween nights?
A. The standard of play is even throughout the nights. Wednesday and Thursday night comps typically attract outdoor teams over the summer.

A. There are up to 3 division in a night, fitness and skill level should be considered when choosing which division to enter.

4e) Q. Why is there no over 35s division?
