As most supporters would know, there are considerable costs associated with fielding teams to represent our great club. This includes grounds, trainers, coaches, footballs, insurance, league fees and much more.

This means that we need to charge our players registration fees. Many of our players are students with part-time work, or graduates at entry level jobs, and finding the registration fees each season can be a challenge.

To help ease this burden, the Club seeks sponsorship of player registration fees by members and supporters. These donations can only cover all or part of a player's registration fees and are managed via the Club rather than being given to the player.

Through the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF), supporters and members receive a tax deduction for assisting FFC players to cover the cost of their registration.

Coaches each season provide a list of players recommended for sponsorship, with priority given to those who will most benefit from such assistance.

Donations of between $295 and $480 will cover player registration fees across all teams, with the 2024 fees outlined here:

Team                                              Registration fees

Men’s Senior and Reserves         $480

Women’s Senior and Reserves   $390

Men’s Thirds                                  $325

Under 19s $295

If you would like to make a contribution towards part of a player's registration fee, please feel free to do so and your contribution will be grouped with other kind donations.

If there is a particular player you would like your donation to be directed towards, please note their name in the ‘supporter message’ on your form.

Donations to the Fitzroy Football Club – Player Assistance Fund are fully tax deductible.
