Apply for/renew federation membership
Federations may require both fighters and/or academies to have an active membership with the platform in order to compete at any of their hosted events.
Depending on settings the federation might approve your membership automatically upon payment OR they will manually check that your registration is in order before they approve it.
The layout may very between different federation pages but it typically looks something like this:
Academies
Academy membership can only be applied for by the academy manager (page admin). If you do not have that level of access, please reach out to the manager of your academy page and ask them to apply.
Athletes
Athlete application may look something like this.
Note: If you need to renew an expired membership, you'll have to apply for membership again just like if it was the first time doing it. I.e., the process for applying for a membership and renewing a membership is the same.
