Ludgvan Lions is affiliated to the Cornwall County Football Association and has F.A. Charter Standard Development Club status. We enter teams at Under 9 age group and above in the Kernow Youth League. Ludgvan Lions are extremely proud of their achievements thus far:
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 11. 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. Membership of the Club is by payment of a seasonal registration fee and weekly subscription. 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. Aims: Ludgvan Lions is a non-profit making organisation dedicated to the furtherance of Youth Football.
