New Clubs
Prospective new Clubs looking to affiliate should contact a member of our Football Administration Team on 01603 704050 or alternatively email Matt.Carpenter@NorfolkFA.com who will be happy to provide support and guidance to get your new Club up and running.
Existing Clubs
For season 2017-18, Clubs can again affiliate online using the Whole Game System, removing the need to complete and post paper forms and also providing the ability to pay online by debit / credit card, although you can affiliate online but pay by cheque if you would prefer. The online system automatically rolls team details forward from one season to the next, minimising the amount of time required to complete the process.

The Public Liability fee for 2017-18 has been reduced from £26 to £21 per Club. Each Club only has to pay this amount once, irrespective of the number of teams that it runs.

We would recommend that Clubs select Silver as a minimum, but you are free to choose whichever level of cover you deem appropriate. Please note that the above fees are payable per adult team and you may choose different levels of cover for different teams within your Club should you wish to do so.
The Personal Accident fee for youth teams has also been reduced from £26 to £21 per team and again full details of the cover provided can be found at the bottom of this page.
