There are two ways of joining the club:

(1) : Register as a trialist – This is popular with many parents as you select the day you wish your child to come along. They come along for the session and meet the coaches and other kids, then you can decide if you want to join fully.

If you then wish to join fully, you just select the training sessions you wish to take part in. We recommend two sessions a week to make a real difference with your child.

(2) : Register Fully – If you already know the sessions you wish to join from our website or app, then just go ahead through the website or app and register with the club.

Alternatively, if you are facing issues with the website then please email us at admin@regentsparkfc.com and a member of the team will be happy to help!

The club offers two payment methods to allow us to take your fees

We're always looking for ways to help kids stay in football, so we introduced installment payments to make it easier on families and reduce the financial burden.

Regents Park FC operates as a football and sports social enterprise dedicated to providing high-quality coaching to local children of all abilities and backgrounds. Since 2006, our mission has been to deliver professional, safe, and inclusive football development in London.

Regents Park FC is managed through two organisations:

• Regents Park Community Sports CIC Limited: A social enterprise that reinvests profits and assets into community benefits. All concession fees and donations are processed through this entity.

• Regents Park FC Limited: The official football club registered with the London FA. Full-price membership fees are managed through this company and help subsidise the club’s activities.

This unique structure allows us to balance sustainability with our commitment to community impact and football development.

At Regents Park FC, inclusivity is a core value. Since our founding, we’ve aimed to ensure all children, regardless of financial circumstances, have the opportunity to reach their full football potential.

In partnership with the Royal Parks, we introduced concessionary rates in 2008, offering eligible families discounts of up to 50% off club fees as well as full bursaries for those in need.

We also subsidize opportunities like our annual Gothia Cup trips for eligible players, helping talented young footballers access high-level competitive experiences.

Since 2006, we are delighted to have continued to offer heavily discounted rates and free bursary places with our football/sport social entreprise business model.

• 38 children on free bursary places (the club self-funds this)
• 54 children on 50% discount for club fees
• 22 children on a 33% discounted sibling rate

Can you express these are percentages of total of kids rather than exact numbers?

14 to 16 year olds

• This years U14 to U16 squad saw over 15 players get a free bursary place which meant they did not pay any fees and thus allowed us to keep them in our community of teams
• We raised over £3000 in our own fundraiser to allow players to go to the Gothia Youth World Cup
• For the Gothia Cup, we have supported as a club over £10,000 over the past 5 years to allow children from all background to go to this amazing life enhancing event. The Gothia Cup is something that has seen over 400 players from our club and this tournament almost forces the boys into communicating and having fun with many cultures and nationalities.

Young Adults

Since 2006, we have employed over 100 youth and young adult coaches and staff. Our paid training program has saw our young coaches go on to become Primary school teachers, PE Teachers, Entrepreneurs and many more positions.
