All players at North Petherton RFC must be registered with the RFU for insurance and communication purposes. No registration, no play.

From the 2021/22 season, all parents of new players U18 and below, must re-affiliate their child(/ren) on the RFU Game Management System (GMS). This must be done before they can play in matches/festivals etc.

Some parents will be familiar with the system, but it will be new to others, so there are a number of scenarios of the route you must take, so please take the appropriate one below – if you have any queries please contact projects.nprfc@gmail.com

New to the Club

For example, either U6/U7 who has not played before or new in 2021/2022 and not registered.

Step 1

Please follow the instructions on the RFU help site here to create your parent account.

Step 2

Using the link to create your account automatically links you to North Petherton RFC.

Once created look out for the email verification link that will be sent to you and click on the link to confirm your email address.

Step 3

Then, add your children to the account.

Step 4

Finally, affiliate them as players.

Renewing Player Affiliation

I Know my GMS Logon Details
Step 1

Log in to GMS using your credentials here

Once you have logged into GMS, on your Personal Profile under the Green Dashboard Notifications, you simply click on the Renew Player Affiliation link against the child’s name to complete.

Step 2

Or you can click on your child’s profile under Family and Friends and then click on the link for Renew Player Affiliation.

WARNING: DO NOT CLICK on any other affiliation links – as you personally do not need to affiliate to the club unless you wish to become a player.

Step 3

Having clicked renew affiliation, you will be presented with the Player Affiliation Form which will be mostly pre-populated as this is a renewal. Simply check all the details are still correct, fill out any missing details, tick the relevant consents/waivers and click SAVE. Pay particular attention to the medical details section as this must be at least completed with “none” to proceed.

You can edit or fill in any incorrect details by clicking on the pencil, or … icons and + to add

You will then receive an automated email confirming completion of Renewal of the Age Grade Affiliation, and this will now show as Affiliated under the club on the child’s profile under My Organisations, and this Player Affiliation is now complete. The club may need to confirm your affiliation.
