 BECOME A GEELONG RANGER


FAMILY MEMBERSHIP

At Geelong Rangers FC, we have a simple family membership option of $40 per year that covers all members of your family. Membership gives you access to club facilities and benefits (i.e. lower cost meals for family members and friends), voting rights and the opportunity to join the committee.

Membership fees are included within the Player Registration fees, and are payable on registration of the first player in a family only, then deducted for all subsequent family members, regardless of age. ​For Junior players, a sibling discount of $15 is also offered for registration of second or subsequent children from the same family.

Social memberships are also available for non-playing members. Social memberships are payable directly to the club and do not require a player registration. Cost of these memberships are $40 also.

This is payable only once per family (i.e. if you have two players registered at the club you only pay this fee once).

FAQs

What does my registration fee cover?

People often wonder what is included in your registration and membership, or why the fees are so high? Here's an indication, although not a complete list, of the things that need to be covered by your fees:
  • mandatory local, state and national registration fees (FFA, FV and GRFC)
  • team entry fees to the league
  • insurance coverage for all players (must be registered and fees paid to be covered)
  • player uniforms, including team jerseys and individual shorts and socks
  • costs of weekly games, including referees fees, lighting, match balls, line marking, etc.
  • costs of weekly training sessions, including lighting, balls, training bibs, training equipment, etc.
  • coach contractual payments (applicable in senior leagues only)
  • player contractual payments (applicable in senior leagues only)
  • training courses and resources for coaches (run by qualified Rangers coaches)
  • ground and club room leasing costs payable to CoGG
  • maintenance of grounds, and external infrastructure 
  • maintenance and weekly cleaning of facilities 
  • utilities, including lighting, heating, water, telephone etc.
  • club website development and running costs
  • development of coaching manuals and programs
  • kiosk and kitchen costs
  • costs to improve our facilities (For example in 2018 have completed a $200,000 lighting upgrade at Myers Reserve which will provide more accessible space for training and games which will benefit all players)
  • ​supplementing meal costs on club dinner nights
Note: Soccer as a sport is not subsidised by Football Federation Australia hence clubs have to wear all of the costs. Unlike Cricket and AFL which are heavily subsidised by their respective sporting bodies hence club fees are extremely low
