Springfield Park JFC awarded FA Chartered Standard status
Springfield Park Juniors Football Club has been awarded Chartered Standard by the Football Association.
Criteria for achieving the entry level award include having a trained welfare officer (Eugene Warrener), CRB checks for all volunteers, emergency aid-trained volunteers linked to each team, Respect programme sign-up, a level one coach for each youth team, appropriate club administration in place and a volunteer co-ordinator.
The benefits for an FA Charter Standard club include free tickets upon application for England youth and women’s internationals; local in-service FA/McDonald’s coaching events, administration support sessions and support with funding applications.
The ‘hidden’ benefits are key to most clubs working towards the kitemark. By achieving an FA Charter Standard Club Award, Springfield Park JFC is demonstrating to all members, parents, sponsors and the public, that it is a well-organised, safe club offering opportunities for all.
A spokesperson for the club said: “A massive thanks to all those involved - great job.”
