Charter Standard Club Level

Charter Standard Club 2007

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. The project is aimed at all clubs outside the Football League and Premier League, players, children and parents, and can help them to find a club in their local area that meets FA standards.

Criteria

The FA, in conjunction with various bodies, has drawn up the following set of criteria for clubs wishing to reach Charter Standard:

A written constitution
FA CRB checked volunteers
All managers to have minimum of FA Level 1 Coaching Course
Commitment to attend in-service training
Acceptance and promotion of Codes of Conduct
Commitment to provide Mini-Soccer opportunities for Under 10s
Commitment to promote schools liaison and equal opportunities for all

Our Club, having achieved the first phase of Charter Standard Club in December 2005, have applied for the next level of achievement, the Charter Standard Development Club. Part of that was the re-affirmation of our standards to Charter Standard (CS) Club level, which we passed with flying colours. This Certificate embodies our aim to have the best Football Club in the South West, and hopefully our CS Development attainment will quickly follow.
