NEW CLUBS
|
|
Welcome to
the
Huddersfield
RCD Junior Football League. We hope you enjoy your time in
the League.
|
|
|
|
The following notes are intended to help
new clubs get to grips with the requirements of playing in a
League. |
|
|
|
First and foremost
it should be understood that you are entering an organised
Football League which is regulated by the English Football
Association and the Rules are very STRICT ! |
|
| As a
member of the League you are expected to respect ALL
League Rules and failure to do so WILL incur financial
penalties. |
|
| |
| JOINING
THE LEAGUE |
| Before
a new club can enter a League they must be affiliated to the
relevant
County
F.A. |
| Clubs
must also send a completed League Entry Form to the League
Secretary before 21st June. |
| Before
being accepted into the League you will need… |
| A
Club President, Secretary, Treasurer and Team Manager (18 years
of age or over) |
| A
Team (Each player must be registered with the League) |
| A
Pitch (Which must conform to FA standards) |
| Suitable
goal nets and corner flags for home games |
| Adequate
Dressing Rooms and Toilets |
| A
Referee for home games |
| If a
Referee is appointed by the League, the club must pay the
referee’s fees & expenses |
| |
| MEETINGS |
| League
Meetings are held each Month from August to April plus an A.G.M
in June. These meetings are for you to voice your opinions
and keep up to date with all the latest news. |
| Failure
to attend meetings WILL result in a financial penalty as the
League has to parcel up all the information and post it to your
club. (Apologies for non-attendance does NOT waive the
fee). |
| |
| CHILD
WELFARE |
| The
health and well being of ALL children is paramount and YOU have
a legal and moral responsibility to ensure that children are
looked after by responsible adults and everyone associated with
your club understands the League and FA rules on Child Welfare. |
| |
| BEHAVIOUR |
| Clubs
are responsible for the behaviour of their players, parents and
supporters. |
| Junior
football is tired of hearing about poor behaviour and both the
League and the FA are determined to rid the game of small minded
people who think they have a right to use verbal and physical
abuse when things aren’t going their way. Any club found
guilty of unacceptable behaviour may be expelled from the
League. |
| |
| CHARTER
STANDARD |
| Teams
in the League are expected to maintain the principles of the
FA’s Charter Standard Scheme. |
| Charter
Standard sets down minimum standards for Facilities, Coaching,
Child Welfare, First Aid and Behaviour. Any club entering
the League for a third season must have achieved Charter
Standard status. |
| In
other words new clubs have 2 years to achieve Charter Standard
status. |
| |
| PLAYING
SEASON |
| The
season starts on the second Sunday in September and continues to
the last Sunday in May. |
| Teams
must be available to play on ALL Sundays during the season. |
| There
are strict rules about when a team can postpone a game.
Teams cannot postpone games at will. ALL games must be
played ON or BEFORE the date scheduled. |
| |
| REFEREE’S |
| Whether
an official referee or club appointed, Referees must be treated
with respect at all times. |
| |
| CUP
COMPETITION |
| The
rules of the Cup Competition may differ from League games and
clubs are advised to read and understand the rules before
playing. |
| |
| If
you have any questions about joining the League or running a
team please contact the League Secretary on 01484 642670
or e-mail… secretary@huddersfieldjfl.co.uk |
