The FA Community Awards will build on McDonald’s continued commitment to improving standards at grassroots level and help us reward those that really matter.
The Birmingham County FA is calling on people from across the region for nominations for the eight award categories so that they can be recognised for their achievements.
The eight award categories include:
• Outstanding Contribution to Community Football Award
• The FA Community Club Award
• The FA Development Club Award
• The FA Charter Standard Club Award
• The FA Charter Standard League Award (Regional & National Awards only)
• Volunteer of the Year Award
• Young Volunteer of the Year Award
• Coach of the Year Award
County Development Manager, Natalie Justice: “Across the county, people are working hard week in and week out to provide a professional, fun and rewarding football experience for the local community and we are delighted that The FA and McDonald’s have recognised these clubs and individuals with the Community Awards.”
Natalie added “This is a great opportunity for us to celebrate the dedication and commitment shown by clubs, coaches and volunteers across the UK and so we’d urge people to nominate. Fingers crossed we get some finalists and national winners from Birmingham County FA!”
The eight County award winners will be announced at Grassroots Football Live at the BCFA awards ceremony to be held on Saturday 5th June 2010. All County winners will receive tickets to the FA Community Shield and the chance to be nominated for the regional and national awards.
Nominations close on 12 April 2010 and a shortlist of candidates will be selected by a judging panel from Birmingham County FA, The FA, McDonald’s and some football greats to include and Sir Geoff Hurst.
