DON'T MISS THE DEADLINE: ENGLAND FOOTBALL ACCREDITATION 

Football leagues and clubs accredited by The FA have positively changed the football landscape over the last 20 years. They create the ideal environments to nurture players, coaches and volunteers. The result is greater diversity and inclusivity through football. England Football Accredited replaces The FA Charter Standard and is the next chapter in this amazing story as we unite even more communities by supporting Leagues and Clubs over the next ten years. 

KEY CHANGES TO RENEWALS

Open/Close Dates
Opened on November 1st 2024 and closes on March 10th 2025

Youth Teams with Qualified Coach (YTWQC)
Last season, clubs could tick the declaration to state they are committed to having a qualified coach within each youth team and it would allow them to auto-renew. This season, it will come to County FA review if a club is not meeting this set of criteria.

Disability Pathway
The requirement for a club to have a disability team playing within an FA sanctioned competition has been removed this season. This means that if a club has a disability team affiliated, then it will be recognised in their pathways and contribute to their star rating.

Star Ratings
Similarly to last season, clubs will be able to provide information on whether they will be working towards meeting their current star rating requirements. If a club is not looking to meet their current star rating requirements, then this season we will change their star rating.

Respect the Standard

This season you will be asked to adopt the new Grassroots codes in order to renew your Accreditation, please ensure that you read these documents and ask members of your club to sign them. For more information on the Grassroots codes and resources on the Respect the Standard campaign and tackling poor behaviour, please visit The Behaviour Hub
