				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hillcrest United AGM &#8211; Tuesday 17th February 7pm at Hillcrest High School Admin Block (at front of school/Masters Ave)</div>
<div></div>
<div>The club is run by a voluntary committee with new volunteers definitely needed.  All are welcome to attend the AGM, or to let us know if interested in helping out through the season.</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>Many of the existing committee are moving on from the club as their children get older and move out of the club. As well as committee roles, there are one-off opportunities to help with club operation through the year.    It really doesn&#8217;t have to be a big commitment. We don&#8217;t own a building or pitches, it&#8217;s literally to ensure that we can get teams out each week of the season and that all our gear, <span class="gmail-il">finances and teams</span> are in order as a club.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Please consider if you would like to join the committee or take on a role to help run the club.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Email secretary@hillcrestunited.co.nz if there are any questions.</div>
<div></div>

<p>Any issues, please feel free to contact <a href="mailto:secretary@hillcrestunited.co.nz">secretary@hillcrestunited.co.nz</a></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Season Information</span></strong></p>
<p>The season runs on Saturdays from 2<sup>nd</sup> May until 29th August, with an optional 5-a-side festival on Sunday 20th September.  The WaiBop season calendar can be found <a href="https://www.sporty.co.nz/asset/downloadasset?id=85d25c0e-4f90-4946-8091-2b12e24d4a21">here</a>.</p>
<p>Please register by 14<sup>th</sup> March to guarantee your place in a team. Once teams are formed, enrolments are only accepted if space exists.</p>
<p>When registering, please consider helping as a coach, assistant-coach, or manager for your child’s team. Teams rely on parents and supporters to fill these roles. Contact <a href="mailto:secretary@hillcrestunited.co.nz">secretary@hillcrestunited.co.nz</a> if you are interested or would like to find out more.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Grades 2026:</strong></p>
<p>A grade is determined by the player’s year of birth, linked to the age the player will turn in the year of play (e.g. a player turns 8 later this year = 8<sup>th</sup> grade)</p>
<p>There is some flexibility to play up one grade. Playing up 2 grades or down a grade requires dispensation from WaiBOP, and is not encouraged in most circumstances.</p>
<p>If you wish your child to play up a grade, please add details in the comments section of the registration form for the grade they wish to play at, and also email secretary@hillcrestunited.co.nz</p>
<p>For First Kicks info, please see our <a href="https://www.hillcrestunited.co.nz/first-kicks/">First Kicks page.</a> This will be updated through the season.</p>
<p><strong>Season Fees:</strong></p>
<p>Season fees will be set at the 2026 AGM mid-February and published on the <a href="http://www.hillcrestunited.co.nz/fees">www.hillcrestunited.co.nz/fees</a> website</p>
<p>Fee payment plans are available, e.g. $10 per week over a term. If this is set up and started before 1st May, the prompt-payment discount applies. Please contact us for more details and to set this up. Disadvantaged children/families may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for further discount – please <a href="https://www.hillcrestunited.co.nz/contact/%20">contact us</a>.</p>
<p>If you choose to withdraw your child after the season has started, a $20 administration fee per child applies and is non-refundable, unless a medical certificate is provided.</p>
<p><strong>Direct Credit/Internet Banking</strong><br />
Hillcrest United Football Club Inc, Westpac, Hillcrest – 03-1559-0044455-000<br />
Ensure your child’s full name and team grade are the payment reference.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Non-Return of Uniform Shorts/Shirt</strong></p>
<p>Uniforms are loaned to players for the season. Socks (black) need to be provided by players.  There will be a charge applied of $50 for the non-return of any item of club uniform ($50 for shirts and $50 for shorts) at the end of the season.</p>

<p>Returning Players can login at the MyComet home page <a href="https://comet.oceaniafootball.com/mycomet/signup">here</a>. (If you can’t remember your username or password, click the “Forgot username/password’ link on the login form)</p>
<p>New Players will need to create a new MyComet account. Instructions on how to do this can be found <a href="https://nzfcometsupport.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/51000065260-mycomet-create-a-mycomet-account">here</a> . Please make sure you sign up using your child’s name and date of birth, not your own and use a parent’s email address as a contact.</p>
<p>When the MyComet account is created, you will receive an email asking you to verify the email address. Once you have done this, then you can login.</p>
<p>If a parent is registered as a player/coach/referee etc. then children’s MyComet accounts may already be linked to their parent’s accounts. If you would like to link accounts with NZ Football, linking accounts can be requested as below.</p>
