As a player member you/your child are agreeing to sign up to the club for the duration of one season, which effectively runs until June 2024, although may be longer if your team enters tournaments throughout the summer. During the season you may be expected to attend mid-week training sessions, as well as league and cup matches and tournaments on a Saturday or Sunday, depending on which league your team has entered. You will be required to provide proof of identification to be registered as a player in an FA-sanctioned football league.

AFC Oakley is an FA Accredited football club which means you can be assured that the club promotes and abides by strict FA guidelines on safeguarding children and codes of conduct, and that the club has a structure put in place to offer and support football-related activities of a high standard.

The club is based at Oakley Sports and Social Club (OSSC), though some age groups may play their home matches at other venues depending on pitch availability. As a member of AFC Oakley, one parent per player will become an associate member of OSSC through the subscription fee and will be able to enjoy the facilities on offer at the club.

If you have any questions about the club or team, please do not hesitate to talk to your coaching staff. If you feel you can participate in planning fund-raising activities throughout the year again, please talk to your coaching staff. The club recognises fund-raising activities at team and club level.

If you have any concerns with regards the safeguarding of your child and you wish for an independent counsel, please do not hesitate to contact the Club Welfare Officer.
