When can I register players, and what do I need?

Registration period: the SAFA Junior Football League registers players from February to October (Uniform Rule 14.2).

Documents to submit for each player (Rule 14.5):

• the registration form from the team's allocated registration book
• the player's passport or identity document (certified copy of the ID)
• a transfer or clearance certificate, if the player was with another team
• a completed medical report
• three recent colour passport-sized photos

Timing

• Submit the forms within five days of the player signing (Rule 14.6).
• Hand in documents at the SAFA offices during working hours. The card is issued on the fifth working day after submission: documents handed in on a Thursday give a card the following Thursday (Rule 14.7). Plan ahead, because the player can't play until the card is issued.

Numbers: the entry fee covers the first 22 players; further registrations must be paid for before they are processed (Rule 14.9).
