CHARTER STANDARD

Greetland Goldstars

 
Greetland first gained the Charter Standard award in Feb 2004.  Along the way the club discovered the many benefits of being Charter standard and now has teams at all ages from under 7 to under 16 and, more recently, has added girls team at under 11 and 12.
 
The Girls have already benefited financially from being members of a Charter Standard Club by receiving a £400 Football Foundation grant towards new kit.
 
Club Secretary Nigel Whitworth said  "This is the third year we have entered girls teams into the West Riding Girls League and when we first entered we had just 7 girls, now there are over 20. This has been the major success story for the club and the first time in the last few years we have had teams at all age groups. People are seeing we are a Charter Standard club and how well run we are."
 
Greetland run teams in the Calderdale Junior Football league, Huddersfield Junior Football League and West Riding Girls League, we are always looking for new players, anybody who is interested can contact the club by e-mail at greetland.goldstars@tesco.net.  New players are more than welcome to attend a training session or two before deciding.
 
The Club would like to thank Development Officer Dave Hales for the hard work and effort he himself put into gaining this award. The club would also like to thank the West Riding County FA and, in particular Joanne De Tute for all the support and advice.
