To ensure that the Programme is relevant, of the right standard and appropriately supported, the Programme will be piloted with 50 leagues across the country in the 2008/2009 season.
The purpose of the pilot is to test the draft criteria, assessment process and support services of the Programme.
It is anticipated that The FA Charter Standard League Programme will by launched fully in the Spring of 2009.
If you are not one of the 50 pilot leagues you can still be developing good practice in your league by ensuring that you have the policies, procedures and approaches proposed by the Charter Standard League Programme in place.
