Welcome to the 2011/2012 season

Elvington Harriers have an exciting new season ahead with; eight teams registered in the Selby District Junior Football League playing on a Saturday morning, an Under 19's team playing in the York District U19 League on a Sunday afternoon and a Seniors team playing in the York Minster Engineering Football League on Saturday afternoons. For budding footballers we have a highly popular Saturday Club for 4 to 8 year olds.

Last season saw some success for our U10's and U11's winning their respective tournaments and the way some of our teams have started the new season, we are aiming to increase our success.

We are looking for more players to join us, especially in the U14 and U19 age group. If you wish to find out more, click on the relevant age group and contact the team manager or assistant coach.

Elvington Harriers FA Charter Standard Club

The FA Charter Standard Clubs programme, supported by FA Community Partner McDonald's, was launched in February 2001 with the aim of setting standards of coaching, administration and child protection for clubs working with young people. The Charter Standard Scheme is the best-practice guide that sets these standards.

The FA is committed to raising the standard of grassroots football in England to encourage more people to play, to develop their skills and to enjoy the game in the right environment, stating "Clubs that become Charter Standard will be taking part in a genuine grassroots revolution. Every club should be aiming to meet the Charter Standard."

What it means to us

This Award allows all teams at Elvington Harriers Football Club to be recognised and accredited as a Charter Standard Club, and includes a certificate and plaque for the clubhouse, football equipment, use of the Charter Standard logo on our promotional material and ongoing help and support from the FA. As a benchmark for quality, it will improve the playing experience for all.

What it means to you

Elvington Harriers applied for the FA’s Charter Standard Award to provide the club with recognition for the quality provision we provide our members. It is a statement that we are a well-run and motivated club, with a good base of volunteers moving the club forward. The member’s welfare is at the forefront of everything the club does, through codes of conduct and good practice. By achieving a Charter Standard Award, we are demonstrating to all members, parents and the public, that we are a well-organised and safe club. The 'hidden' benefits are also an excellent way of promoting your club to potential members, parents, volunteers and sponsors.”

All new FA Charter Standard Clubs are required to meet FA criteria, ensuring they provide opportunities for players irrespective of age, gender, religion and ability. Clubs must also provide qualified coaches, first aiders and child protection officers. For more information about the FA Charter Standard click on the logo above.

We would personally like to thank everyone associated with the Club that helped us achieve this standard, from players and parents, to team managers some of whom funded themselves to gain FA coaching certificates. We will now look forward to maintaining this standard with your help and continue to develop our important role in the community.
