Affiliation runs from April 1st to March 31st annually.
You will have noticed that this is an increase on the affiliation cost for last year, but this is because the cost of the full Personal Accident cover for Walking Football players at the club has increased substantially. We had no option but to increase the cost of affiliation to cover the increased cost of cover.
This extra cost, still represents great value as it covers all the players at your club, rather than on a team by team basis as some other insurance does.
