WNBF Norway is registered in the Brønnøysund as an association, the reason for this is that the union is made for members, there are members who shall have the power and control associated .

Where can I find the rules to associated?

Regulations/laws are finished-written, but must be checked at the first forbundsting.

Current board members are:
Ron Daniel (President), (Board member), Ida Olufsen (Board member), Christina B. Pedersen (Board member), Heitor Sousa (Board member)
Susanne Løken (Board member)

We are a start-up phase, so everything is done by volunteering. It's pure passion for healthy sports, the goal of creating healthy role models, as well as provide a platform where everyone can quiet the same as doing that we put so much time and energy into this.

As a member of the Wnbf norway so you agree by registering to be tested throughout the year. if you refuse to take the test you will be banned by fobundet. we all make a concerted effort for clean sport, so it is expected that our members are cooperative if they are asked to perform a test.

What is the difference between the team and the club?

No, In the wnbf norway so you can ask that individual and you do not need to be affiliated with a club.

What is the reason that there are clubs in the WNBF?

We don't want that only the team leaders and coaches will vote on the major decisions on behalf of the members, we want everyone to have the opportunity to be determine, and on the way have a democracy for all.
