To all Clubs Durham County Football Association Player Insurance Scheme
The Durham County Football Association are Bringing in an Insurance scheme County wide for all senior players.
This new scheme Costs a Player £5-00 for the First Club he registers for in the County, any Further Clubs he registers for will be the Normal Registration fee for that League.
This Is a Durham County Football association Rule so there is No opt out, If you have Player/Club Insurance from any one other that the League Then this needs to be cancelled, as the Players who play will have paid their own Insurance.
 
Break down the League Insurance was £160-00 Per Club.
Clubs with 18 Players Signed On Meant it was £8.90 per Player
Clubs with 20 Players Signed On Meant it was £8.00 per Player
Clubs with 22 Players Signed On Meant it was £7.30 per Player
Clubs with 24 Players Signed On Meant it was £6.70 per Player
Clubs with 26 Players Signed On Meant it was £6.20 per Player
Clubs with 28 Players Signed On Meant it was £5.71 per Player
Club with 30 Players signed on   Meant it was £5.33 per Player
Club with 40 Players Signed on Meant It was £4.00 per Player
 
So It Breaks down that 90% of the Clubs in the League with the DFA Insurance it will be Cheaper.
 
The Procedure Is Clubs send the £5-00 payment along with the £3-00 Registration Fee to the League that is £8-00 in Total, then the League will forward details to the DFA who will Issue the Player with a Credit Sized Card to say he Has Insurance.
So if any Player comes along to sign for your Club and He has an Insurance Card then he only pays for the Registration Fee of £3-00, but if he does not have the Card then he pays the Full Fee Of £8-00.
 
I Know Clubs will Not like This, But It is a DFA Rule so No Opt out   and also think of the extra work for the League.
