What is the FA Charter Standard and why should my club get involved?
The FA Charter Standard Scheme is a core component of The FA Football Development programme. The scheme establishes minimum standards for football development and acts as a quality assurance mechanism recognising well run clubs. As a benchmark for quality, it will improve the playing experience for all.
In summary the FA Charter Standard rewards organisations who demonstrate a commitment to raising standards in the following areas:
Administration
Coaching
Child Protection
Deatils of the Charter Standard Award for Leagues are available from the County Office as is further information on the Charter Standard Scheme in general.
