Top Tips

Here are some top tips to smooth your registration process:

  • In the Nationality and Country of Birth fields type in New Z to quickly select New Zealand

  • Use the Known As field if you/your child are not known by your/their legal first name, so typically where you/they go by a nickname, a diminutive name or a second name. Don’t enter anything in this field if these conditions don’t apply

  • If you are registering more than one Junior player please note there is a green [Add another player] button at the bottom of the first screen

  • If you are a player who is registering themselves as well as one or more juniors it may pay to do the Senior registration first

  • Please enter phone numbers without the international code unless it is a number hosted in a other country, also please avoid inputting spaces

  • Remember if you are a Senior player please indicate the team you are playing in by entering that detail in the Player Requests field on the initial registration page e.g. Unmanageables or if you are a new player not associated with a team enter “new player”
