THE Kent County FA is inviting Charter Standard clubs to nominate entries for the Charter Standard club awards.

The Charter Standard award is the best practice guide that sets standards of coaching, administration and child protection for all clubs outside the Football League and Premier League. As a benchmark for quality, it will improve the playing experience for all.

You can nominate your club or individual by downloading a nomination form at www.kentfa.com

Categories are:

• Charter Standard Club

• Charter Standard Adult Club

• Charter Standard Development Club

• Charter Standard Community Club

• Charter Standard Club Coach

• Charter Standard Club Administrator

Nomination forms must be returned to Lee Suter by 27 April 2009 with county award winners being announced at the end of May 2009.

Kent have had great success over the years with Faversham Strike Force, Bredhurst Village, and Bearsted all winning National FA Awards as well as John Harvey, of Maidstone Rangers, being awarded National Club Administrator of the year.

County FA football development officer Lee Suter added “The county has some great clubs with superb volunteers and this is their chance to gain recognition for the fantastic work that is carried out in grassroots football.”
