PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY.  

Since December 2002 when the award was launched, 110 clubs have achieved the FA’s highest accolade – The FA Community Club status. Linby Ladies F.C in partnership with F.C Interski and Mansfield Town Ladies F.C are the eighth club in Nottinghamshire giving the county the most Community Clubs in the country. FA Community Clubs adhere to the core principles set out in the FA’s blueprint for English football. The Charter for Quality, namely that the needs of the player should come first and that the game should be the teacher. In practice, that means providing playing opportunities from youth level all the way through to adult, running teams for male and female players and providing opportunities to footballers with disabilities. The club must also forge relationships with local schools to encourage young people to pursue their interest in the game. Each team has a qualified coach with the aim being to place the emphasis on enjoyment, rather than results. The FA Community Club represents the pinnacle of the FA Charter Standard Club system, which rewards excellence at every level.

 Linby kick start their Active Sports programme

Active Sports is a 5 year development plan targeting 9 sports, one of which is girls football. It is mainly concerned with getting more 10 –16 year olds to join clubs and help the better ones get more support in developing their skills. It is jointly funded by Sport England lottery, local Authorities and the Football Association. There are 4 stages to the Active Sports framework.

1 Inter schools competition and “Kick Start” coaching sessions.

2 Club Development

3 Assessment Sessions

4 Coaching Centres

Linby Ladies are one of the clubs involved in the delivery of the first year of the plan. They ran an 8 week coaching course for girls aged under 12 and then the girls had the opportunity to join the football club. The sessions were taken by club coaches to provide a definite link for the participants. Clubs involved in the Active Sports programme can access education opportunities e.g. First Aid Courses, Sports Coach U.K. courses as well as funding towards football association and other appropriate courses. Active Sports aims to support the future development of the club.

Linby Ladies are an excellent example of a Football Association Charter Standard Club working with Active Sports.
