Charter Standard Leagues

The FA Charter Standard League Programme delivers the vision of the FA Charter Standard Brand.

Vision:

To offer everybody in grassroots football a high quality, safe, enjoyable experience that is nationally recognised.

The programme helps to:

  • Target investment
  • Deliver an improved service and support structure to leagues
  • Improve communication with leagues
  • Ensure succession planning within leagues
  • Rationalise existing league structures
  • Help implement the principles of Long Term Player Development
  • Grow football for under represented groups
  • Improve efficiency and sustainability of leagues
  • Deliver on the Respect Programme

The Charter Standard League Programme assesses the ability of leagues to provide a high quality, safe and enjoyable football experience against a standard set of criteria. It also encourages leagues to continuously develop through on-going support from County FA staff and the review and on-going development of a league development plan as part of an annual health check process.

The Charter Standard League Programme is open to all Sanctioned Leagues.
