Affiliation 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 asking them to accept the JoinIt user we have created for them. If you can’t see this in your inbox, please check in your junk/spam folder. If you have the email and have accepted, you will already have created your JoinIt account and you will re-affiliate using that account.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The JoinIt account will be in the name of the person not the club, but it is Club Affiliation.
If you are affiliating for the first time, you only need to use the button below. It will take you to JoinIt and follow the onscreen instructions. Once you have affiliated, make sure you check your email for confirmation; it has important information.
*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.
