|
| GUISELEY AFC and their
associated junior club Guiseley JFC have both achieved the
Football Association's prestigious Charter Standard Award.
Guiseley JFC became a Charter Standard Club in the summer by
achieving exacting standards in the way that the club is run
including such things as coach education, membership
procedures, child protection, and codes of conduct. |

responsible for achieving Charter Status), Reg Allwood (West

Guiseley AFC have become a
Charter Standard Adult Club - the first in the Wharfedale FA area -
by adhering to the same standards as the junior club and have put in
place procedures and training courses to ensure that the managers
and coaches of all their teams have appropriate first aid and
coaching adults qualifications. |
|
|
|
|
|
Both sections of the club
are now aiming to jointly achieve the highest level Charter Standard
Community Club status in the near future. This achievement has been
brought about by a successful amalgamation of the two clubs, which
has seen the number of juniors and seniors playing in Guiseley
colours double to nearly 300 in the last year. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Guiseley teams now
start with the under six age group and progress in all age
groups to the senior club's successful under-19, reserve and
first team squads. A girls' team was also recently set up
following a successful festival at Guiseley's home ground in
Nethermoor Park. |

To run 17 junior teams at a
club like Guiseley AFC and its associated Guiseley AFC Juniors
relies on the generosity of local companies to help provide kit and
equipment. |
|
|
|
|
|
This season alone Guiseley
has set up a number of new teams including a girls' team and teams
at Under-15 and Under-16 boys' levels. The Under-15s have been
grateful to Otley associated firms Otley Hire Centre and Fast Track
Plant Hire for providing them with their kit. |
