Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions govern your membership and participation in Ambleside Junior Football Club ("the Club"). By registering your child as a member, you agree to comply with these terms.

2. Membership

Membership is open to children aged 4 and above, subject to availability and appropriate age group placement. All members must be registered with the Club and provide accurate contact and medical information.

3. Fees and Payments

Membership fees are outlined in our Subscription & Fees Guide. Payment must be made via Standing Order for season ticket holders. Trial sessions are offered free of charge for Cubs and Little Lionesses programmes. CP Football is entirely free of charge.

Fees are non-refundable except in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the Club Committee.

All players, parents, and spectators must adhere to the Club's Code of Conduct. This includes:

• Respecting coaches, referees, opponents, and fellow club members
• Promoting fair play and sportsmanship

• Following venue rules and regulations

Failure to comply with the Code of Conduct may result in suspension or termination of membership.
