INTRODUCTION
FAI.net is the Governing Body Database introduced by the FAI organisations to manage the registration of club members.
ClubZap is the leading provider of membership management for FAI clubs to simplify the collection of membership payments, discounting and reporting to identify who has and has not paid their club membership.
Every player that has paid membership to your club via ClubZap must be registered on the Governing Bodies Database (FAI.net).
This includes:
New Members: These are members that do not currently have a Governing Body ID. (example: new players joining your nursery for the first time)
Existing Members: These are members that have an existing profile on the FAI.net System.
