Royal United is committed to promoting high standards of football coaching in a safe and rewarding environment for all children.

In 2005 the club submitted its application and was successful in gaining The FA Chartered Standard Award.

Royal United is one of the first clubs in the area to be given this award and reflects the very high standards our Club Officers, Managers and Team Reps set.

The award is only available to clubs that can demonstrate they meet high standards in:-

• Football Coaching – All Managers must hold formal FA Coaching Qualification
• Child Protection
• Equal Opportunities
• Administration
• Football Conduct
• Fair Play

In addition to the requirements of the FA Chartered Standard the club continues to strive to raise standards and has already implemented the following:

• Managers undertake full Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure
• Managers are supported in undertaking additional coaching qualifications
• Managers maintain their knowledge through membership of Sussex County FA Coaches Association
• Each team has allocated a fully qualified referee
• Each team has allocated at least two first-aiders
• Assistant Managers are supported to take formal FA Coaching Qualifications

If you are looking for a club for your son or daughter you will not find a more professionally run club and you can be assured that their needs and yours will be fully catered for.
