Player Registrations FAQ – 2012.13
Q: Can I use registration cards from other
leagues?
A: Yes FA Affiliated League Player
Registration cards can be used as proof of date of birth. Please
photo copy the cards and submit with team registration form.
Q: Do I need new photos?
A: Yes the league requires that the photo
submitted has been taken within the last 3 months.
Q: Why can I not use last year’s player
registration cards for this season?
A: The league player registration process is
computerised to allow for the 8,500 player registrations.
Each year the team’s registration number
changes to reflect which age group the team is playing in.
Player Registration cards are colour coded to
ensure the cards are relevant for the correct season – 2011.12 was
Red and 2012.13 is Green.
Players within teams change and issuing a full
team’s registration is the easiest way to ensure the league knows
which players are registered to which team.

A: This is the league’s requirement. All
documents for proof of date of birth or name changes shall be
photo copies ONLY.

number from season which are prior to last season?
A: The league system stores last season
registration numbers with the players DOB so that they can be
registered quickly on the system and no additional proof of date of
birth is required.

Commission for Data Protection and take very seriously the protect
of children’s personal data

Photographs must be glued (not stapled) within the box corresponding
to the Players details

Player 1 photograph matches Player 1 details, Player 2 photograph
matches Player 2 details etc
·

Rejected.
If the photo has glue over the face
or school watermarked - Rejected.

small - Rejected.

No Proof of Date of Birth.
·
Proof of Date of Birth MUST be photocopies of Birth
Certificate, Passport, Medical Card, Other FA league Registration
Cards
for all Players not registered with EBYFL last season.

For players registered with EBYFL last season then you shall only
need to add their 2011/12 EBYFL Reg No (Only 2011/12 Season Reg No)
to the team form, along with their date of birth on the form. The
last season registration number is then entered into this year’s
registration system to extract name and last season verified DOB so
no additional documents are NOT required for proof of date of
birth if you use last year’s registration number on the form.

Club Chairman or Secretary MUST sign this form, to confirm details
are correct and that they agree to these players playing for the
