"The Charter Standard Scheme is a best practice guide that sets standards of coaching, administration and child protection for clubs working with young people. As a benchmark for quality, it will improve the playing experience for all."
The scheme is aimed at all clubs outside the Football League and Premier League to enable players, children and parents to find a club in their local area that meets FA standards.
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
