Places are strictly limited to 12 per session due to the current pandemic, and are on a first come first served basis. We are now working towards achieving the next level of the FA Charter Standard Programme. The purpose of the programme is to raise standards in the grassroots game through supporting the development of clubs and leagues. It also recognises and rewards commitment, quality and achievement. The clubs and leagues who achieve The FA Charter Standard demonstrate they offer well-run and sustainable football. We are proud to prioritise qualified coaching and safeguarding, as well as the values of The FA’s Respect programme as part of our game.
