Registering is easier than you think. We'll walk you through it.

Head to playfootball.com.au. Click "Re-Registering to play this season?" on the homepage. This works for both new and returning players — don't let the wording confuse you.

Before you can do anything on PlayFootball, you need to be logged in.

If you've registered for football anywhere in Australia before, click "Sign In" and log in with the email address you used last time. You must use the same login method you originally signed up with — so if you created your account with your email and password, use that. If you used Facebook or Google login, use that.

If you're brand new to football, click "Don't have an account yet?" and create an account. You can sign up with your email address, Facebook, or Google. Important: if you're a parent registering a child, create the account in your name, not your child's. You'll be able to register your kids from your account.

You'll get a verification email with a code — check your inbox (and your junk folder if it doesn't show up). Enter the code when prompted and you're in.

Once you're logged in, click on the product drop down and choose organisation.

Type in Macquarie United go to the bottom of the page and click along the page numbers until you find us!

You'll see a list of registration options — these are organised by age group and team type (MiniRoos, Junior, Senior, etc.). Make sure you select the right one for the player you're registering.

Not sure which one to pick? Here's a quick guide:

MiniRoos — turning 5 to 11 in the calendar year

Junior Competition — turning 12 to 16 in the calendar year

Senior Men's or Women's — 18 and over

Click "Details" to see what's included and the fee breakdown. Then click "Register."

Choose "Myself" if you're the one playing. If you're registering a child, select their name from your linked family members. If you haven't linked your child's profile yet, you'll be prompted to create or find their record — you'll need their full name and date of birth.

If you (or your child) have played football before, PlayFootball will try to match you to an existing record. If it finds one, click "Use Record" to claim it. This links your playing history so everything stays in one place.

You'll need to open each set of T&Cs (Football Australia, Football NSW, BDFA, and club level) and check the "I agree" box for each one. It's a few clicks, but it's required before you can move forward.

Work through the personal details form — name, address, date of birth, emergency contact, the usual. Fill everything in accurately and click "Next."

You'll also be asked to update or confirm contact details and click "Save Participant."

Upload a passport-style photo of the player. Head and shoulders, facing the camera, clear background. PNG or JPG, under 5MB. This is used for player ID.

Choose the appropriate form of ID and provide the required details. New players may need to have their ID verified by the club.

Last screen. Review all your details — name, age group, fees — and make sure everything looks right.

If you're using an Active Kids voucher, this is where you enter the voucher code. It'll reduce the total automatically.

Click "Confirm and Pay," then "Add Card," enter your card details, and hit "Submit and Pay."

That's it. You're registered.

You'll get a confirmation email. The club will review and approve your registration, and we'll be in touch with team details, training info, and everything else you need before the season kicks off.
