Cornwall FA - developing football for everyone
Development - take your skills to the next level

Charter Standard

The quality mark for all  local football clubs to achieve by putting in place elements such as qualified coaches; good practice codes of conducts for players, coaches, managers, parents and spectators.

Charter Standard InService Events
As part of being a registered FA Charter Standard Club you must attend a minimum of at least one in-service event per year as a commitment to retaining your Charter Standard status. More importantly, Cornwall FA hopes that these events, which are free to Charter Standard clubs, will be seen as a real benefit to clubs - a reward for achieving and retaining the Charter Standard status.

A variety of events are held in any one year covering topics including coaching specific age groups, dealing with injuries, goalkeeping, and a stand-in referees course. Details are circulated to CS clubs.
