Walking football Season

Michael Hill

Hi everyone, a couple of questions here about FA WF Leagues.

1. When does your season run? What months do you cover within a particular season and why? (my reason for asking is that our county league is currently aligned with regular football so covers the colder months and I am exploring options to suggest a shift in the schedule . (S im not cold, wet and miserable whilst refereeing!)

2. If your season incorporates the month of June what do you do about Insurance cover during the month of June? 

And now a question for the FA

1. The insurance cover we take out,  is the end of cover each year the end of June? So any issues about having no cover are sorted if clubs get their affiliation process sorted prior to the end of June? Obvioulsy this Insurance issue would cover club sessions as well.

    Hi Mick, in response to your final question, insurance cover through affiliation is to the end of June. Public liability insurance is covered per club whereas personal accident cover is per team.

    Thanks for that Ellie.

    So if say, Mick Hill plays for Corinthians Blues in the Lincs League 60s and 65s plus plays for Corinthians Blues in the East Riding League and also the Spedding Goldthorpe League then in essence pays for personal injury Insurance 4 times?

    Mick, not sure who provides your PAI in your area, but when I questioned this with Sportsguard, who provide the cover for Oxfordshire FA, I was told that provided it was exactly the same squad of players that are registered for one league, that insurance policy would also cover them for the other league...but to clarify, for the Lincs league you would have two different squads because of the age categories, so 2 policies would be required there.

    Thanks John, I'm trying to explore whether that is really fair on Walking Footballers compared to regular footballers as currently we are purchasing almost identical policies with the main differences being on differing levels of cover due to our ages. If I was a regular footballer who played Saturday for United FC in the County League and then on a Sunday for the Royal Oak in the local Sunday league then I can reconcile with having two sets of insurances but I feel uncomfortable with the situation that if I represent Corinthians Blues (as a walking footballer) i may have to contribute many times although always playing for the same club?

    Is it feasible that Walking footballers take out personal injury cover individually (still sorted by clubs through county FA Insurance providers and part of the player registration process) ?

    Do we currently have a situation that if the personal injury cover is team based then individual members of a club (who do not register for competitions) but just attend weekly sessions have no personal injury cover?

    Or do every club member who attends weekly sessions need to be registered by a club on the FA whole game system but not actually attached to a team to ensure Insurance cover?

    I know the answer to this as I asked the same question when we 1st affiliated. No, according to our county FA, this is not a requirement. As long as they have some form of membership. We had a serious mishap resulting in a claim in a session. The claim was accepted with the above as proof of being a club member.
