Lancing Rangers - The FA Charter Standard Clubs



























Lancing Rangers Football Club successfully achieved The FA Charter Standard in 2004.

This is aimed at boys and girls under sixteen years old and supported by the England Team Sponsors 'Nationwide'.

It was launched by the Football Association in February 2001 with the aim of setting standards of coaching, administration and child protection for clubs working with young people. There are only a handful of clubs who have this accreditation in the UK.

In order to reach the Charter Standards clubs must have displayed the following competencies:

  • A written constitution.

  • Self-certified screening of managers, coaches and officials

  • All managers to have minimum of level 1 Certificate in Coaching

  • Commitment to attend in-service training

  • Acceptance and promotion of Codes of Conduct

  • Commitment to provide Mini-Soccer opportunities for Under 10's

  • Commitment to promote schools liaison and equal opportunities.
  • Clubs that are successful in achieving the Charter will get access to a wide range of benefits, some of which are:

  • Exclusive Regional Workshops

  • Access to Child Protection Training

  • Kit and Equipment Grants

  • National and Regional Awards

  • Subsidies for F.A. Junior Team Managers to attend courses
  • By achieving the Charter Standard Award, Lancing Rangers is demonstrating to all its members, parents and the public, that we are a well organised & safe club for children to be part of.
