We are very proud to announce that we have been awarded the 3 star highest accreditation by England Football, which has replaced the FA Charter Standard Scheme awarded to qualifying clubs for the past 20 years.
England Accredited has been launched by the FA to create a vibrant national League and Club network to deliver inclusive local football that changes the face of the local community. Accredited leagues and clubs exist for the players and create opportunities for everyone to experience and enjoy the game we all love.
England Football Accredited recognises clubs who raise the bar and set the tempo for football to thrive in England, creating maximum opportunities for everyone who enjoys the game to participate. The accreditation takes into account both on-pitch and off-pitch criteria and then awards a star rating (from one star to three stars) based on the club's available player pathways, and infrastructure.
The highest three star award recognises those football clubs which have proved a commitment to a completely inclusive pathway, for everyone who wants to get involved in the game.
Old Rivingtonians Chairman, Colin Myers commented, "We are delighted to have been awarded the England Football 3 Star Accreditation by The FA. Our club committee and volunteers work tirelessly to provide the very best for our 280+ members, with over 20 football teams playing regular football in our partner leagues across Lancashire and Greater Manchester. This accreditation is a testament to all of their hard work and we are extremely grateful to all of our volunteers for their commitment and effort".
