Age-grade Affiliation & Membership
A very warm welcome to our new players and welcome back to our returners. We hope you had a good off season and a restful break, and that you are looking forward to the season ahead at Yarnbury RFC.
Please read and follow the step-by-step instructions below. If you are renewing player affiliation please go to How to Renew for a Parent / Guardian?, if you are transferring from another club then please look at How to transfer from another club, if you are new then please look at How to do a new affiliation for a Parent / Guardian?, it will ensure you end up affiliating your children to play and not yourself!
If you are affiliating/renewing a player in U7 to U16 then please upload a recent photograph of your child or replace the existing photograph if the previous one is more than two years old.
Photographs will only be used in the creation of the player passport, a requirement of Yorkshire RFU, our constituent body. The photograph will only be available to club administrators and your child’s Team Manager or Coaches in a secured pdf file.
You will see a link to an RFU Support Guide for every section below, so please do take a look at these helpful written and video guides for a step-by-step walk-through.
