2020/21 Playing Kit

The new season is far approaching, and it is great to see lots of children registering for 2020/21.  If you have requested  playing kit as part of your registration, this page is the best place to get the latest update on when it will arrive and how you can get it. 
​
Disclaimer: we have around 200 children register every year and processing custom kit for this size of club is a lot of work!  I manage this kit along with a number of  activities for the club (as well as a full time job, family etc), so please be patient and look here first for updates - as soon as I have new information, I will post it here.  If you still have questions after reading the below, please get in touch 

Thanks!

The Process

There are a number of steps that have to happen to get you playing kit; this is how it works:

1. You register your child on line, via the website
2. Approximately once a month, I batch up kit requests and send to our suppliers.  The batch name is the month of registrations it incorporates.  e.g. the June batch is mostly registrations in June.  Note: this is not an exact science and registrations at the start/end of a month may end up in the prior or following month's batch!
3. The supplier then processes the order and depending on the availability of stock from Adidas, we receive around 4-6 weeks later (if Adidas don't have stock, the timelines increase significantly while they restock and ship)
4. I let age group coaches and admins know the kit has arrived and also post here
5. Age group coaches/admins arrange to collect kit from me and then distribute to players
