Everything we need, asked once, in about five minutes. Nothing to pay now. At the end we will tell you which of our development sessions your child can come to this week, without waiting for anything. Every child who wants to play gets a place. From the development session we find them a team at a level that suits them, because a beginner dropped into a competitive league has a miserable season, and so does everyone around them.

Your child

Decides their age group, and the FA needs it.

Helps us put children with people they know.

Only if they have played affiliated football before. Leave it blank otherwise and we will help you create one later.

How much football have they played?

A rough idea, and there is no wrong answer. Every child who wants to play gets a place. We do use this to work out which team suits them, so an honest answer helps your child more than a generous one, nobody enjoys a season spent out of their depth, or one spent bored.

Health

Seen only by your child's coach and the club welfare officers, and held for no other purpose. Please tell us even if it seems minor: the coach is the person standing there if something happens.

You

Everything from the club comes here.

The FA needs it to link you to your child.

A second parent or carer, if there is one

Someone else we could call

For when neither of you can be reached. A grandparent, a neighbour, a friend.

Where you live

Photographs

Tick where you are happy for your child to appear. We ask separately for each rather than once for all of them, so you can agree to some and not others, and you can change your mind at any time.

What could you help with?

This is the part we would ask you to read properly. Summertown Stars has no paid staff. Every coach, every manager, every person marking a pitch on a Saturday morning is a parent who stepped up.

It matters most in the development sessions. A group of children only becomes a team when the parents around it decide to make one, and when that happens we find them a training slot, put them into the league at the next entry point, and they are away. Teams that never find willing parents stay as sessions.

You do not need to have played to be useful. Plenty of the most valuable help has nothing to do with football.

A friend already at the club, a day that will never work, anything at all.

Nothing to pay now. We confirm a team first, then send you a link to pay.
