Guidelines

The following are guidelines that Kent FANS members should be aware of:

Each FANS member will be entitled to free training at the facilities of their choice during designated off-peak times, when the facilities are open, providing there is no disruption to other users and no additional cost is incurred by the facility eg. floodlighting.
All the facilities who support the Kent FANS scheme do so on a voluntary basis.
Membership of the Kent FANS scheme is renewable every 12 months pending continued sports performance at a national level.
Each F.A.N.S member will be issued with a membership card which must be shown at each facility when requiring free access.
F.A.N.S members will be allowed one free training partner if the sport so requires and/or a personal coach if appropriate.
In return for the benefits which F.A.N.S members receive, we ask that members make every effort to attend promotional events as requested by any of the participating local authorities or facilities.
