Membership applications are reviewed by the board. Once a member is accepted in the club, their membership fee will appear automatically on their Suomisport account.
Note that it's common for our officials to want to meet the players before having them be officially accepted into the club. If you want to speed things along, feel free to Contact the appropriate officials.
The membership fee is tied to the board's term of office and is paid annually, commonly including the season from September until next August.
The fee shouldn't be confused with participation / seasonal fees, which are separate payments that seek to cover certain activity costs and are only assigned to players who participate in said activities. E.g. tournament participations or autumn / spring season's indoor shift fees are all potentially separate payments from the membership fee.
