The affiliation process for season 2010/11 is underway, and existing Member Clubs have until 1st July to ensure their forms are returned in time for the forthcoming season. This is also the deadline for entries into one of the County Cups and to avoid the Late Affiliation Fine.
Affiliation forms for the new campaign have been sent out to existing clubs, with new clubs receiving their packs by the end of May, but prospective new clubs are still invited to contact the County Office to register their details. Clubs should have three or four alternative names ready in case their first choice is not available.
If you’re looking to form a new club for the 2010/11 season, just click on the file in ‘Related Documents’ to access all the information you require to affiliate with the Essex County FA and get the ball rolling on a brand new season of football. There is no set deadline for the submission of New Club Forms, although to register with a league or competition you will need to affiliate ASAP to receive your required Affiliation Number.
If you have a question regarding the affiliation process, contact the Affiliations Team on (01245) 393080/2/3/4/96 or E-Mail robert.craven@essexfa.com. The deadline each season for all EXISTING clubs to re-affiliate is 1st July and there is a £25 ‘Late Affiliation Fee’ applicable after this date.
For the 2010/11 season the Essex County FA, as part of a specific £200,000 investment back into the game over a four-year period from the 2006/07 campaign, has covered the costs of each club’s Public Liability Cover at Step Seven of the National League System and below, worth £18 per club.
Please Note: All youth clubs require a Club Welfare Officer who holds a valid FA CRB Check and who has completed a Safeguarding Children Workshop and a Welfare Officers Workshop. For more information, click on the ‘Welfare’ link.
