                                 FAMILY DISCOUNTS
A discount on registration fees is available for families with more than 2 registered  players, but only for family members under the age of 18.  In this situation, full  registration fees are payable for 2 family  members (that being the 2 players with the  highest fees), and discounted follows:
– 3rd Child (under 18) = $30 discount
– 4th & subsequent Children (under 18) = Free

                                   REFUND POLICY
Any player injured during the course of the Club’s financial year may not be entitled to a full refund of their registration fee, and is subject to the Club’s Refund Policy.

Any registered player seeking to be de-registered from the Club may be entitled to a full/partial refund of their registration fees, as per the Club’s Refund Policy.

For further information, please refer to our Refund Policy.
To request a refund, please email registrar@lugarnofc.com.au and state why a
refund is required.

                               MORE REGO INFORMATION

The registration fee is a single charge for the season and still remains lower than the “all up” fee charged by most other clubs. While some clubs may have lower registration fees up front, players at these clubs also pay weekly match fees, resulting in a higher overall expense.

Also, all players registering for the 2018 season will receive the new Lugarno FC Mitre socks, shorts and rain jacket. New players will also receive Lugarno FC training jersey.

These will be supplied via your team manager (not at Rego Day as in previous years).

In the past we have had problems with some teams having too many players and we have had to turn people away. With each age we have a maximum number of players that we will accept. Existing Lugarno players will get preference, provided they register online during the registration period.

If you are unable to attend our registration assistance day, for help with registering please contact the club registrar.

If you need help registering online, or have any other questions about registration please email the Club Registrar.
