Returning MFA Members

Please select ONLY ONE of the following Athlete Memberships: FULL or RURAL.

For those with multiple roles in the community, please purchase the Associate Membership or the most relevant membership category.

CFF License Numbers should remain the same – this will not show up during the renewal process, but should be on the Membership Card received by members after successfully renewing their license.  If that is not the case, please contact the MFA immediately.

Once you have purchased your CFF license number, please use this page to look up your membership number should you need to.
