All members are required to pay their membership fees via direct debit. Membership fees are currently £30 per month for the duration of their membership with Rising Stars, however please note that from September 2024, monthly membership fees will increase to £35*. This decision has not been made lightly. Our subscription fees have remained unchanged for the past three seasons but it has now become inevitable to make this adjustment due to several factors.

Over the years, the costs associated with running the club have increased significantly. The expenses for pitches, kit and equipment have all risen. Additionally, starting in 2024, we are now contracted to pay for container storage at The Whitstable School. These costs are essential to ensure the smooth and ongoing operation of the club.

We understand that an increase in fees may be challenging, but we assure you that this step is necessary to continue providing a high standard of facilities and equipment to our members.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Should you have any problems or queries regarding payments or this change, please contact Sue, the Club Treasurer via email risingstarsfctreasurer@gmail.com.

If you are new to the club or a returning member, you are required to pay a one-off Club Joining Fee of £35 to secure your child's place.

* If you are registering a sibling, a 50% discount will be applied on the monthly fees.

Rising Stars is a club run completely by volunteers, and all funds obtained by membership fees, events, grants and sponsorships are used by the club solely for the development and benefit of its members, for the good of local community youth football.

To clarify, our membership fees include a new kit for matches and training every two seasons, training from August to June, friendlies, tournaments (subject to availability), one team building event per season and they contribute towards league entry fees, match fees, insurance, venue hire and equipment costs, referees fees, volunteer coaching qualifications including safeguarding and first aid.

Should you have any problems or queries with payments, please contact Sue, the Club Treasurer via email risingstarsfctreasurer@gmail.com.
