Registration Fees

Warning

REMINDER: It will not be possible to rollover your registration fees or create new fees if your regional or provincial organization has not yet activated its affiliation fees.

If possible rollover your registration fees from a previous season and make only the required changes. However, you must link questionnaires, waivers, and installments, as these are not imported when you rollover your registration fees.

Note

TIP: to select your fees from a previous season, click on the white rectangle to the right of the name. The fees will not be selected if you check the box on the left.

If you want, you can also create new registration fees.

BEST PRACTICES FOR YOUR REGISTRATION FEES

  • Name your registration fees generically.

  • Do not include season date, year of birth, age, practice days, or match days in the name of your registration fee.

    • EXAMPLE:

      • Summer U09-CDC Male

      • Summer U14-REG Female

      • Winter U17-LDIR Male

      • 9U - Mixed

      • 13U - Female

      • Rally Cap - Mixed

  • Keep in mind that your registration fees can be used next season. This will save you from having to change all your registration fee names.

  • Don't forget to update the additional questions, which will be displayed in your registration fees.

  • Ensure you indicate the correct amounts for your regular, early, and late fees.

  • Make sure that the status of your registration fees is active.

  • For organizations with more than one city, you must create a single store per city with all divisions, for example :

    • SUMMER 2024 REGISTRATION - JOLIETTTE

    • SUMMER 2024 REGISTRATION - L'ASSOMPTION

Warning

REMINDER: this store MUST NOT be the same as the players.

You can put your referees, coaches, and volunteers in the same store.
