FA Charter Standard Club Programme
The F.A. Charter Standard Programme looks to provide recognition to those clubs who demonstrate:
Required Standards
Raising Standards
Reaching Excellence
There are 4 levels of awards for Clubs:
1. FA Club
2. FA Development Club
3. FA Community Club
4. Adult Club
On receiving the award clubs will receive the following from the FA:
Club £100 Umbro voucher
Development £150 Umbro voucher
Community £200 voucher
Clubs will also receive a certificate, plaque and welcome CD Rom.
The benefits for clubs achieving FA Charter Standard include:
- Promotional materials
- Coach Education Bursaries
- Use of Logos
- In-service Training
- Priority Funding Application to the Football Foundation
- Support of F.A. staff
- Free membership to the North Riding County FA Coaches' Association
However, maybe the most important benefit is the recognition, from The FA that the club demonstrates to all members, parents and the public that they are a well organised, safe club offering opportunities for all.
Here at North Riding C.F.A. "we are committed to raising the standards of grassroots football by encouraging more people to play, to develop their skills, and to enjoy the game in the right environment. We encourage clubs to work towards achieving Charter Standard status so we can continue to improve the national game."
