One of the terms and conditions for clubs to affiliate to England Athletics is ‘agree to implement and uphold the club standards.'  Clubs are required to complete the checklist as part of the affiliation process, however they do not need to have all standards in place.  It is recognised that some clubs will be working towards these, therefore they can update the checklist throughout the year as they work through each standard. Before you can start processing your payments for the affiliation year you just need to click 'Submit changes' at the bottom of the club standards checklist so that we have a record of your club completing the checklist.
