Charter Standard

F C Rockets are one of the latest Clubs in Derbyshire
to achieve F.A. Charter Standard Accreditation

The F.A. Charter Standard Scheme is a national initiative that recognises football clubs for their best practice, provision and delivery of grassroots football.

There are three levels of the Scheme:

- F.A. Charter Standard Clubs
- F.A. Charter Standard Development Clubs and
- F.A. Charter Standard Community Clubs

There is also an award for F.A. Charter Standard Adult Clubs only.

The Scheme looks at the administration of Clubs and the qualification of their coaches. It promotes links with local schools and as you work through the awards looks at the development of more teams, including girls’ football teams and development plans detailing Clubs aspirations and sustainability for the future.

F C Rockets are one of Derbyshire’s latest Clubs to achieve the Charter Standard Club Award. Pictured is the Secretary of F C Rockets, Mr. Dean Waltho accepting his F.A. Charter Standard Club Certificate and plaque from Derbyshire County F.A.’s Football Development Officers Jon Woodward and Keely Brown.

If your Club would like to receive further information on the F.A. Charter Standard Scheme please call the Football Development Team at Derbyshire County Football Association on 01332 361422 or contact us by email.
