All our Managers and coaches hold the F.A Level One
coaching qualification or are prepared to undertake it and have a
minimum Junior Team Manager qualification. We also have two
qualified referees. All coaches and volunteers must complete a CRB
check. The FA coaching qualifications include elements to cover
Child Protection Best Practise and Emergency Aid.
The F.A “Charter Standard ” status is a “kite mark”
to guide parents when choosing a club for their player. Strict
criteria has to be met and must be maintained, as all Charter
Standard Clubs are assessed at regular intervals. If you would like
more information about the Charter Standard, please speak to us, or
visit the FA website.
To aid our fundraising efforts the Club has
“Community Amateur Sports Club” status with the Inland Revenue. This
will allow us to use “Gift Aid” a facility I’m sure many of you are
aware of these days. It means whenever a UK tax payer sponsors or
donates money to our Club ie –Sponsored Walk” if they tick the gift
aid box we will get an extra 28% added onto their donation at no
expense to the sponsor themselves.
The Club welcomes
all players of school years 1 to 9. (Born 01.09.93 to 31.08.02)
Covering all corners of West Cornwall, our membership stands at
approx 140 players and we retain members at a rate of 93%, a record
of which we are justly proud.
This season we will field seven teams in the Kernow
Youth League in age groups Under 14,13,11,2 x 10 & U9. For
non-league players the managers will endeavor to arrange friendly
matches whenever possible. This will enable every Club member to
play competitive games as well as enjoy the many training facilities
available at the Club. (please note F.I.F.A rules do not permit U6/s
to play games)
Membership of the Club is by payment of a seasonal
registration fee and weekly subscription.
We publishes a regular Newsletter to keep players and
their families up to date with Club news and events. The newsletter
is given to each player in paper form and is also available
here. If there is anything you would like
covered in the newsletter please let us know.
If you have concerns or queries at any time please
feel free to speak to your player’s manager, Parent representative
and / or any officer of the Club. All matters will be treated in the
strictest of confidence.
