We are an LFA affiliated FA Charter Standard Football Club, committed to providing equal opportunity for all children of all abiliites/disabilities. Each team coached by a minimum of FA Level 1 qualified coaches who have recieved both safeguarding children and emergency aid training. Layton juniors football club is a fully insured club with the LFA and also has personal accident insurance for our players and coaches. That is why The FA Charter Standard club programme, which raises standards and recognises and rewards quality, is so important. Every player at some stage of their career will play in a grassroots club. We have a shared responsibility to ensure that this experience is a positive one - whether you are six or 60. 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 me and The FA. We are grateful for all the support provided by County FA officials to promote and develop The FA Charter Standard programme. The programme provides a benefit for everyone in the game, The FA, County FAs, coaches, volunteers, parents, but most importantly the players. Layton Juniors Football Club has achieved and continues to provide all of the above to a very high standard. LAYTON JUNIORS FC - INVESTING IN CHILDREN
