County Development Officer Nicola Copley was in Wakefield recently
to present Ossett Trinitarians with their Charter Standard Award.
|
|
|
|
The club has come a long way since its' formation in 1963 and now
boasts eleven teams in age groups from under 7 to under 16.
|
|
|
|
Club Chairman, Paul Stephenson, is delighted with the clubs progress.
|
|
"We started working toward gaining the Charter Standard award two
years ago and in June 2006, after a lot of hard work from many people,
we officially gained the award.
|
| The primary motivation for the
club to achieve Charter Standard status was that we wanted to
demonstrate to existing and prospective players and their parents
that the club is run in a professional manner by qualified personnel
and is therefore able to provide a safe and friendly environment in
which to play football. |
|
We now have qualified coaches at all
age groups, a Club Welfare Officer, Codes of Conducts for players,
parents, supporters and coaches and all volunteers have been
‘CRB’ screened. We are very proud of our award and we are fully
committed to not just upholding but improving on standards already
set.”

|
The club has already benefited
financially from the award by receiving a £400 Football Foundation
grant towards new kit and equipment. |
