The FA Charter

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, to ensure that players, children and parents can 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

Hutton FC is a Charter Standard Development Club, which is the second highest accreditation available, and the highest we can acheive in our current position. We hope that through the development of the club and our plans for the future we will be able to attain the highest accrediation available and be a Charter Standard Community Club.
