Timperley Sports Club (TSC) has implemented a new TSC online membership system (CMS) to manage membership and collect 2021-22 Club Membership subscription and hockey fees (for U18 and Academy) section fees. This year you can only pay your Subs online via the new CMS system (run by First Sports International) and not via the bar or Pitchero.

Timperley Sports Club (TSC) comprises of four sections Cricket, Football, Hockey and Lacrosse. Non Playing (Social) Membership is also available and parents are encouraged to join. Regardless of your child's chosen sport everyone joins TSC. Membership gives access to all sports although all junior sections have limits on capacity and charge additional fees to cover, for example, coaching and other costs.

Please read the following important guidance on how to sign up for the new season. For information on TSC Membership CLICK HERE.

Here's how to sign up for your child's 2021 - 22 membership of TSC and THC

Parents of all Under 18 members must follow the process in the attached 'How to Guide' and set up an account in their name on the CMS before adding their child(ren). .

Some parents / guardians are already set up on the CMS as they have been members of TSC and have completed a TSC Ltd paper membership form in 2019/20 and should receive an email over the next few days telling them how to activate their new TSC membership account and renew their own and their child's membership for 2021-22. (See more details below).

The new system collects the TSC Sub and Under 18 Hockey Fees together and splits payment between TSC and THC and will significantly reduce volunteer time tied up with membership admin and subs collection.

TSC Subs and Hockey Fees for 2021/22 season:

Youth Member - Under 7 as at 31.8.21 ( School Years reception to 2)
