• To receive a full refund (minus the admin fee of $30) you must be de-registered and this de-registration must be approved before May 31st. If you have not initiated your de-registration on PlayFootball by May 25th, we can’t guarantee this process will be complete by May 31st.
• Refunds will be considered on a case-by-case basis after this date and a partial refund applied.
• Players who have commenced training and play may only be eligible for a partial refund and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
• Injured players who wish to claim on FNSW insurance, must remain registered, but a partial refund will apply if you’re missing a significant portion of the season.

How to Request a Refund

1. You must de-register to receive a refund of your registration fees – Guidelines to de-register

2. Advise the club registrar – & to provide your bank details so we can action a refund.

3. Advise your team manager & age group coordinator so they can remove you from the team.

Important Information regarding De-registrations

• A player cannot register with another club until the de-registration has been approved by Mt Colah FC and also has 2nd-level approval from NSFA, which can take up to 7 days.
• Active Kids Vouchers cannot be refunded for cash, they can however be transferred to another Active Kids Provider.
• Why must the de-registration be completed by May 31st to get a full refund? This is the cutoff date set by Football NSW. On this date, My Colah FC will be billed for Football NSW, Football Australia & the NSFA components for any Active players in PlayFootball. Therefore any players not de-registered fully by May 31st will have these portions of the fee deducted from their total refund amount as Mt Colah FC will be liable & invoiced for those. The club also uses registration fees to pay for ground hire, lighting, equipment, equipment maintenance, general administration purposes.
• Credit Card Fees paid for player registrations are charged directly by the PlayFootball Payment Gateway provider and are not refundable.
