Thank you to all the valiant parents who have battled through the new Pitchero signing on process to get their child registered. Some fought until the end and some fell on their swords along the way but we now have 300 players signed up which is a great start. We know that many of you found the process tricky and we will be working with Pitchero to make the website work better for all of us moving forward.

The next step is to get your child registered with the FA and the leagues so they are on the team squad list ready for kick-off in September. If you haven't already, please send a recent pic of your child to your team manager. WhatsApp is usually easiest. It doesn't have to be professional, just a nice, smiley, head and shoulders (passport style) photo snapped on your mobile. AFC Portchester kit is preferred but optional. Plain backgrounds are better but a picture with a clear background down Wicor Rec is usually OK too.

The photo you provide will be shared with the FA and the leagues. Uploading a photo to Pitchero is optional but your coach will still require a pic.

If your child is new to AFC Portchester, we will also need to confirm their identity. To do this please show your team coach a copy of their passport or birth certificate. Their name and date of birth on Pitchero must match their identity documents.

Thank you to Kate Chivers, one of our U18 Ladies players, for allowing use of her photo as an example.
