FA Charter Standard

 

We are delighted to announce that on 22 nd September 2005, we were accredited as an FA Charter Standard Club. In order to achieve this award, we as a club had to prove that we are meeting the required criteria demanded by the Football Association. 

 

What this means to you as parents and to your children as players is:

• the club will ensure that all teams are coached by qualified people
• that all mangers/coaches will be vetted by club officials, all managers will follow the good practise criteria of the FA and
• we, as a club have undertaken to vet all managers/coaches/club officials through the Criminal Records Bureau. 

In addition and importantly for the club, we now have access to greater funding for coaching and courses for our managers/coaches.  

AFC Hiltingbury is a leading club in the area and we intend to ensure, through this award, that the club continues to offer the right approach to providing football for the local community
