Club Transfer Forms

All players moving to a new club must complete a VNZ Transfer Form. This form is to be completed and lodge with VNZ prior to competing for the new club and before participation in any Zone qualifying leagues or events. 

Below are some key points to keep in mind when transferring clubs
- A player may only transfer Clubs once in a VNZ Membership year - 1 March - 28 February following year.
- Other than for School players, Club membership is established on a player’s first Club registration with VNZ.
- There is no time limitation – a player must seek a transfer from the last club they played for regardless of how much time has lapsed since their last game for the transferring club.
- Prior to playing for a new Club, the player and Club must have received confirmation of approval of the transfer from VNZ.

Club Champs Loan Form

The VNZ National Club Championships Loan Window shall be from 11-29 September 2021.

Following the conclusion of Zone Qualification events, each qualified Division I team may transfer in one player from a non-qualified Division I team within the transfer window. The player must complete a Loan Form, have it lodged and signed off by VNZ on or before 29 September 2021.

Loans are only to be granted at the discretion of the Loaning Club

Loans may not be granted if a player has an unsatisfied financial obligation (whether disputed or not) to the club for which an Invoice or other formal documentation supporting indebtedness to the Club has been issued prior to the application for transfer is received by the transferring Club.

Where a financial obligation between a Club and player is unable to be resolved this will be referred to VNZ for resolution. VNZ decision will be final.
