The FA Charter Standard Clubs Programme

The FA Charter Standard Clubs programme, supported by FA Community Partner McDonald's, was launched in February 2001 and is a core component of The FA Football Development programme.  It aims to ensure best practice is adhered to by all Clubs in Britain outside of the top tiers of the game. To pass the three levels (Club, Development Club & Community Club) you have to show that you are well run, have training for your coaches in place, that you operate a safe environment for the boys and girls, and so on, with each level demanding higher standards.  We attained our Charter Standard Club status in July 2006, and our Charter Standard Development Club status in September 2007.  Click on the various links below to find out more!  If you would prefer, there is an Awards Gallery with just the photos & the certificates.
