10. FOR PLAYERS ONLY
To play rugby at Tabard you must be registered as a player and purchase a Tabard playing membership. You will be able to do both of these from you GMS dashboard once you're logged in.
10.1 Register as a player
Click on the "Register as player" button and complete all sections of the form which is displayed.
Once complete click on the "submit" button at the bottom of the screen to save the information and automatically notify our Registrar that you are applying for registration. Your dashboard will now show "Registration pending" which will change to "registered" once our Registrar has checked and approved your registration.
• For Women players registration is complete at this point.
• Men Players also need to be "RFU registered". This will require some additional information dependant on your circumstances. Our registrar will contact you to complete this process.
Registration is an annual process with all players reverting to "unregistered" on 1 July each year. We will contact you at this time to remind you to re-register. Re-registration is a far simpler process as it merely requires that you confirm the information already held.
10.2 Buy membership
Click on the "Buy membership" button. This will display a list of the club memberships available.
Player memberships available are either payable by monthly direct debits or with a single annual amount (This can be paid in five instalments). Choose which you prefer and pay at the checkout.
Note: All payments will show on your bank statements with a reference of "First Sports" who provide this service.
