This page has lots of information on playing football at all grades. (Scroll down) Please also see our Important Dates page.
Note: This page is still being updated for 2024
Registrations for 2024 are now open for all ages.
Registrations for 2023 are now closed for all ages except Mini-Kickers (born 2020-2016). If you still wish to register please email the Registration Coordinator, katikatijuniors.reg@gmail.com with your child's name and date of birth and we'll see what we can do. Please do not use the Comet Registration link below unless for a Mini-Kicker or you've been asked to do so by the Registration Coordinator.
Registrations: OPEN Click this to start Comet registration...*
Registration Notes:
- NOTE: If you are having trouble registering ... see our special Registration Help page - NZFootball pay people to help you, please use our tips and their service - our rego coordinator is busy with 300 of you registering and we know Comet can be painful :-)
- Use this helpful table to work out what age and grade your player is.
*Alternative to Registering on Comet for those requiring a payment plan or alternative payment option: Comet requires payment in full at time of registration and if the payment does not succeed then you have NOT registered (we won't know you are wanting to play for us!). So please email the Registrations Coordinator (katikatijuniors.reg@gmail.com) with your child's full name, date of birth, email and a contact phone number to ask about payment options OR let us know that you tried to register on Comet.
How to Register
- Click the Register Now button which will take you to the MyComet login.
- Important: Hopefully at this point your phone/computer remembers your player's username and password. If not ... note that almost all of you will already have a login, so see the Registration Help page for suggestions on how to proceed.
- Login as the child you want to register
- Please please don't register to MyComet with your name, the login belongs to each player in the team. You don't want your name read out at trials! Yes you have to repeat this for each child sorry but it is fine to use your email address for multiple players.
- Tip: Look at the Personal Info menu item to see which player name you are logged in for
- Click on the Menu icon if the menu is not open on the left hand side.
- Click the Register Players menu option, then Football
- You should now see a screen like this listing the 'products' you can buy. On mobile screens you'll need to scroll down a bit.
- Check it says Katikati FC Inc at the top as the club filter. For those who've previously registered at another club it will say the old club name here. You'll need to change it to Katikati FC Inc. You don't need to unregister at the old club, just register with us (note this is blocked if you still owe money at the old club).
- Select the correct product for your player.
- Tip: The Product Types are confusing .. so look at the product "Name" field and locate the year your player was born. If you find it too confusing this helpful table might help you work out what age and grade your player is.
- Click on the Add to Cart button for the appropriate product.
For First XI/U19 Players, please note that your subs are $110. When you register select the Youth $110 not the $100 product. If your player does not make the team we will refund the $10 difference .
- Click the Shopping Cart button on the top right and select 'Proceed to Checkout'
- Click the Age Confirmation to continue
- You'll now be taken to the credit card payment system to complete the transaction.
Tip: If anything goes wrong in this last step you'll still be registered, so don't add the product to cart again. When the issue is sorted you can locate it as an Unpaid Invoice and pay it there. If stuck see the Registration Help page. - Thanks - that player is registered!
