Membership & Match Fees

For 2023/24 season, the following membership subscription fees are applicable. (See Notes below too.)

As agreed at the AGM in May 2023, some membership fees have increased.

All members of Wilmslow Hockey Club are automatically members of Wilmslow Phoenix Sports Club too. The membership fees below include membership of Phoenix.

General notes:

• Membership Year runs annually from 1st September - 31st August.
• Membership is subject to agreement to the Club Rules and Policies.
• Payment is online only via Teamo - for details on how to use Teamo, please see the Teamo page.
• Players who are also paid club coaches are not entitled to a junior or concession member fee unless they meet the elibility requirements for a concession or junior member.
• Membership fees are non-refundable and must be paid in full by 30th September. Late payers will not be eligible for selection after this date until full payment is made.

Membership category notes:

• Adult Full Membership: we hope and expect all adult playing members to be available and play in the majority of fixtures (subject to injury and occasional absence).
• Adult Limited Membership (previously "Occasional Membership"): limited to 8 league fixtures per season, but can be upgraded to Adult Full Membership later in the season. This membership is aimed at:
• (i) those returning to hockey after a break but unsure if they will have the time/childcare/support/fitness/health etc to play every week
• (ii) those who have an extended absence planned, perhaps for family, work or relocation reasons or are joining the club mid-season
• (iii) those who are likely to be playing for the lower teams (i.e. 3s and 4s)
• The Membership Secretary or Captain will contact everyone selecting this membership category to understand their circumstances and offer support as required.
• Junior membership: applies to those under 18 on the first day of the Membership Year. Junior members are eligible to play junior and senior matches (if aged 13 or above on the day of the fixture) and take part in junior and/or adult training as appropriate. Note that juniors aged 12 on the day of the fixture are eligible to play Development Team fixtures subject to club and parental approval (See regulation 7.2 of NW League Regulations).
• Adult Concession membership: is intended to help individuals who could not afford the full membership fee to play hockey at the club for a reduced fee and applies to the following categories of member:
• Student membership: applies to those over 18 on the first day of the Membership Year and in full time education and therefore only earning a wage on a casual/occasional basis. NB Apprentices (or similar) who study and earn at the same time are not eligible for the concession membership.
• Unwaged membership: applies to those we are not in employment and not earning a wage. Upon becoming employed again, the full match fee shall be due rather than the reduced match fee.
• Retired membership: applies to those who are no longer in paid work.
• Change of circumstances: in the event of any signficant change of financial or life circumstances (e.g. getting a new job, losing a job, retirment, maternity), please contact the Membership Secretary to discuss membership and match fees. For example, an Unwaged member who gets a new job should now pay the full match fee.
• Financial hardship: if at any point you find yourself facing financial hardship that would prevent you from paying the full membership fee or match fees, please contact the Membership Secretary to help find a way for you to continue to play hockey. For example, the club may be able to reduce the membership fee or offer instalment payment options.
