Player’s FAN

A FAN is a personal account on the FA system. All players including children must have their own FAN

If your child already has a FAN the club will find it and connected it to the Club. If your child does not have a FAN the club will create one.

Parent’s FAN

If your child is less than 16 then at least one parent must have a FAN and this has to be connected to the child’s FAN so that they can give Consent for the child to play for the club.

If your child already had a FAN you may already be connected. If not, or the club has created the child’s FAN then the FA system will invite you to connect using the email address you have registered your FAN with.

Player Over 16

Once over 16 a parent does not give Consent to play for the Club, the child does this. For this to happen the the child’s email address must be on their FAN. Once the child has passed their 16th birthday you or they should add the child’s email to their FAN.

Consent To Play

Once the child has a FAN and the Parent is connected (or player email added over 16), the FA system can be asked to send a Consent request. To play for the Club there must be a positive reply.
