The Football Development Strategy 2001-2006 highlighted the importance of club development and of the need to develop a more effective Club structure. It stated that ‘The Football Association must support clubs who have the potential to develop a number of teams, providing ‘football for all’ and ‘football for life’.
The FA Charter Standard Club Programme now has three levels:
● FA Charter Standard Club (Youth, Adult)
● FA Charter Standard Development Club (Youth and Adult)
● FA Charter Standard Community Club
