The Charter Standard League Programme assesses the ability of leagues to provide a high quality, safe and enjoyable football experience against a standard set of criteria. It also encourage leagues to continuously develop, through on-going support from County FA staff and the review and on-going development of a league development plan, as part of an annual health check process.
The Charter Standard League Programme is open to all FA Sanctioned Leagues.
East Riding County FA currently has two Charter Standard Leagues (Hull Boys Sunday Football League who were the first in the country to achieve this and East Riding County Women’s Football League)
All other East Riding County FA leagues are working towards achieving Charter Standard League status. Clubs are encouraged to help out their leagues by filling out the application form and returning along with the relevant documentation.
If you require any help, support or wish to meet to go through the application process then please contact Jack Matthews on 01482 221158 or email: jack.matthews@eastridingfa.com
