3. How do eligible groups and organisations register? 

In the first instance contact Norwich City Council sports development team, below, to check whether your organisation is eligible to register for free/subsidised use of Goals' pitches. The council will then forward your details to Goals Soccer Centre, Norwich, who will provide a membership registration form for you to complete and return to Goals. There is no charge for this registration. 

A condition of registration and membership is that use of the facilities will be subject to Goals' rules and regulations. 

4. Booking arrangements 

A maximum of one month and a minimum of eight days written/email notice must be sent to Goals requesting use of the facility. 

Goals management reserves the right to refuse use of the facilities as set out in this agreement if it reasonably considers that usage may cause injury or damage to the facilities, or that the facilities are required to be closed for the purposes of maintenance. 

If Goals management consider that the facilities which have been booked as above are not being used regularly by a registered group it may cancel any such booking and refuse to accept any further bookings made by that group.
