Affiliation is a fixed period and runs from April 1st to March 31st annually†.
Affiliation gives you Personal Accident Insurance for all your players. This covers training, friendlies, and competitive games.
Plus, a list of other benefits you can find below
You will have noticed that this is an increase in the affiliation cost from 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.
If you are already an affiliated club, the email address associated with the club should have received an email. This email explains the process for joining. Plus, all your players will now be added to your membership on Joinit for insurance purposes. Details of how to do this are also in the email. If you didn’t get the email or need help, please email kendavies@thewfa.co.uk
Please use the link below. This is ONLY if you have been on the platform already and re-affiliated.
If you are affiliating for the first time, you only need to use the button below.
† Affiliation ends on March 31st for all affiliated clubs, no matter what date in the year you affiliate.
*Clubs that currently have insurance through the FA Bluefin scheme; that insurance will not cover players for WFA events, unless the event is approved by your club’s county FA. This was confirmed to us by Bluefin, but feel free to check the cover yourself.
** There is no lower age limit, so players under 40 in the women’s game and under 50 in the mens game would be covered.
*** Referees courses are an extra cost per attendee.
