Achieving The FA Charter Standard Club Award
|
5th Oct 2005 |
In June 2005 the club submitted its application and was successful in gaining The FA Chartered Standard Award in October 2005.
The FA Charter Standard Programme provides recognition that clubs are well run and sustainable, with child protection and safety paramount. It also recognises a club's commitment to coaching, player and coach development, and the raising of standards of behaviour in the game - all of which are big priorities for both Twin Oaks FC and The FA.
Twin Oaks FC is one of only a few clubs in the area to be given this award and reflects the very high standards our Club Officers, Managers and Team Reps set.
The award is only available to clubs that can demonstrate they meet high standards in:-
- Football Coaching - Minimum FA Level 1 Coaching Qualification
- Child Protection
- Equal Opportunities
- Administration
- Football Conduct
- Fair Play
In addition to the requirements of the FA Chartered Standard the club continues to strive to raise standards and has already implemented the following:
- All Club Committee Members, Managers and Volunteer Helpers undertake full Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure
- Managers are supported in undertaking additional coaching qualifications
- Managers maintain their knowledge through membership of Sussex County FA Coaches Association
- Each team has been allocated a fully qualified Referee
- Each team has been allocated a First-Aider
