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.

    I would still see the PAI as mandatory for every player but having paid once that cover follows you around for the year wherever you play. Lots of players pick up sessions away from their usual base whilst holidaying or working away. And as you suggest it would probably be as lucrative or more so than the current system for the suppliers and the FA and possibly savings passed on to the players?

    Hi Mick and John,

    In answer to your questions:

    • The premiums for personal accident insurance is paid on a per team basis. Yes, a player in multiple teams may have a different policy covering them depending on who they are representing. This happens in other formats in youth and adult football too when playing across multiple teams. We can understand the sentiment of having to pay multiple times but does come down to how the club / team issues their fees.
    • If a player is a member of the club, then they assume the cover under whichever team they are registered for so they would have cover at weekly sessions.

    Thanks,

    Ellie
