Playing fees are invested entirely in football (soccer), with the Strikers using its proportion of playing fees to pay for playing shirts and socks, balls and training equipment, awards and trophies, and ongoing CC Strikers activities and projects. The rest of the playing fee is paid to the Manly Warringah Football Association (in whose competitions all Strikers teams plays). The Association uses its fees to cover:

• Registration of all players and teams;
• Referees Fees;
• Competition Trophies;
• Development of the Cromer Park ground and facility;
• Support for Manly United representative teams; and
• Levies to the Football Federation Australia and Football NSW.
