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 schools, colleges, clubs and holiday courses.

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

In order to become a Charter Standard Community Club, The Clarry Football Club have achieved the following:

Built a Players Committee with a Chairman and Vice-Chair
A Constitution
Financial Management
A Code of Conduct
Insurance
An Equity Policy
FA Child Protection Policy
Personnel Disclosure Forms
A First Aid Certificate

To sum up, all our members will recieve some of the best the county of North Riding can provide in quality of coaching, health & safety, a bright future, first class coaching facilities and much more.

The benefits for clubs achieving FA Charter Standard include:

£100 Umbro Voucher
Promotional materials
Coach Education Bursaries
Use of Logos
In-service Training
Priority Funding Application to the Football Foundation
Support of F.A. staff
Free membership to the North Riding County FA Coaches' Association

However, maybe the most important benefit is the recognition, from The FA that the club demonstrates to all members, parents and the public that they are a well organised, safe club offering opportunities for all.
