Federation membership system

One authoritative register for every athlete, coach, judge and club in your federation — always current, always auditable.

Overview

A federation's most valuable asset is a trustworthy register of who is affiliated, licensed and eligible. Fitofan holds that register centrally: athletes, coaches, officials, clubs and regional bodies, each with their documents, grades, medical clearances and history.

Membership is not a static list — it is a yearly cycle of applications, approvals, renewals, transfers, suspensions and fees. Every one of those steps is modelled in the system with the approvals your statutes require, so a regional secretary, a club administrator and the national office all work on the same record instead of exchanging PDFs.

Because the register is connected to competitions, an unlicensed or suspended athlete simply cannot be entered into an event, and a club with unpaid affiliation fees can be flagged before the entry deadline rather than after the draw.
