Men’s Senior Registration
All returning and new Senior Members are invited to register online using PlayHQ, using the link below. All players should register individually this season – no matter what team you intend to play for. The registration process will guide you through the steps of selecting the appropriate registration fee.
For morning and afternoon “open” grades (that is, teams with open merit-based selection between grades – inluding Premiership, Championship, Division 2, and Division 4 grade), register at the following link:
For afternoon and social “closed” grades (that is, teams that operate as closed teams – including Masters Foxes, Masters Robbie’s, T20 Duck Duck Six, and T20 Sticky Wickets). Closed teams pay a team sub, rather than individual fees, so it is important that you contact your team captain for a voucher code to apply at the payment step to nullify the individual player fee.
Special notes for Men’s Senior Registration
Please note for NEW Senior members – if you are new to the club, we encourage you to get in touch with our club captain Adam Winter prior to registering to ensure we can place you in a suitable team or level in the club. Senior subscriptions for 2026/27 season are $360.00, $270.00 if you are at U21 or at University.
PlayHQ is PRE-PAY only this year, meaning that payment is required in order to process your registration. If you require financial assistance (for example a payment plan), please contact Vanessa Robertson at treasurer@burnsidecricket.org.nz.
Players under the age of 21 on the 1st of October qualify for a reduced registration fee, this is automatically calculated when you register based on the DOB information you provide.
Students also qualify for a reduced registration fee, to request a discount voucher for this purpose email the club secretary at cricket@burnsidecricket.org.nz along with a photo of your student ID card.
