Insurance
For insurance reasons, it is mandatory for each player within the team to be individually registered for Summer Football through the Dribl registration system. The link to register on Dribl is below. Do not register until an individual has a confirmed team to join and the associated team code (used during registration).
- For players not registered in Winter Football in 2024, an additional insurance and admin fee of $10 will apply
- Please do NOT redeem any Active Kids Vouchers during this process, as the fees are minimal and you will not get full value for your voucher. Details on how to use an Active Kids Voucher for Summer Football are detailed below
Age Groups
A player can be registered in an U12 comp if they played U12 in Winter Season 2024. All age groups coincide with the age the child is turning in 2024.
Active Kids Vouchers
For players wishing to use their Active Kids Voucher for the Summer Football registration, the following process must be followed:
Each parent/carer must send their child’s Active Kids voucher details to their Team Manager. This includes the Child’s Name, Date of Birth, and Voucher Number EXACTLY as they appear on the Active Kids Voucher. Once all requests have been received the Team Manager can fill out the Active Kids Redemption form. BDFC will then redeem the vouchers and, once funds have been received, will refund to the Team Manager for distribution.
