Registrations for the Women’s First Team and Men’s First Teams are dealt separately.

Registrations must be made online, via the Club’s Friendly Manager web application.

The registration procedure differs whether:

  • you are a current or past member of the Club
  • you are new to the Club and aged 18 or older
  • you are new to the Club and aged less than 18

For more detailed information regarding the registration procedure – including links to the Club’s Friendly Manager web application – please see section Grades, Age Groups & Registration Fees below.

Yes, registration after the Registration Period will be possible, but it may be conditional. In any event, it will be subject to an additional late registration fee.

For more information on this, please refer to section Grades, Age Groups & Registration Fees below.

Registration fees are the exact same amount as the 2025 season and ranges from $220 to $280 depending on the player’s grade or age group. Discount applies under certain conditions.

You will find the registration fee applicable to each player’s grade/age group as well as the discount conditions in the section Grades, Age Groups & Registration Fees below.

We also continue to offer the Club Boost option. For more information on this option, please refer to Club Boost sections below.

A player’s grade or age group is based on this player’s birth year.

For more information on this, please refer to the section Grades, Age Groups & Registration Fees below.

No. The Club’s registration fees remain unchanged.

We have, however, created a late registration fee. For more information on this, please refer to section Grades, Age Groups & Registration Fees below.

We also now offer the Club Boost option. For more information on this option, please see the Club Boost sections below.

All members representing the Men’s and Ladies First Teams, Youth, Juniors, FF & FK will be required to wear the blue kit. Please check our club site here for more details.

Yes, we are. Expressions of Interest are now open for new coaches and managers to join our teams. Come be part of the fun and help guide our players! If you’re interested, please reach out to jnrpresident@bmafc.co.nz, dof@bmafc.co.nz or anyone in the Committee.

The Club has fantastic and committed sponsors and partners. It also receives several grants and will organize multiple fundraisers. In spite of this, however, the Club’s budget remains constrained.

Club Boost is an optional and non-tax deductible contribution which comes in addition to the members’ regular registration fees. Club Boost enable members to increase the Club’s resources, ideally for acquiring extra gear and equipment.

You may contribute $10, $20, $50, $100 or any multiple thereof via Friendly Manager.

For more information on how you can contribute, please refer to sub-section Procedure to contribute to Club Boost below.

In the name of the Committee and of all Club members, our warmest thanks to any Club Boost contributor.

BMAFC’s registration fee is very similar to that of our close neighbouring Clubs offering pathways to all age groups, namely to that of Fencibles, Bucklands Beach and South Auckland Rangers.

The registrations fees partly cover the following (and not exhaustive) expenses required to run the Club:

  • General administration
  • Salary of Director of Football
  • Subscription fees (e.g. Friendly Manager and Xero)
  • New Zealand Football / NRF levies (in 2025, this totalled more than $30,000)
  • Grounds and building maintenance
  • Training and game day equipment (balls, goals, cones, bibs, etc.)
  • Prize Giving expenses (venue, trophies, pennants, certificates, pins)

You may indicate this preference when completing your child’s online registration via Friendly Manager. This preference will be considered during the allocation of players among teams. However, we cannot guarantee that this request will be fulfilled.

Yes, the Club will continue to propose the following special programmes:

  • Discovery Programme
  • Skill Centre
  • Holiday Programme
  • Summer Football

In parallel to the above special programmes, the Club also contemplates the creation and running of a Referee Academy. More information on this to come later.

Once registrations for any special programme are open, a specific email will be sent to all members concerned, and a notice will be published on the Club’s website.

Registration to any special programme will need to be made online, via the Club’s Friendly Manager web application.

As per last season, absolutely no one will be accepted in any special programmes before corresponding fees are fully settled.
