|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before a new club can enter
a League they must be affiliated to the relevant County
F.A. |
|
|
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 first Sunday in
May. (The season may be extended to the last Sunday in May in
exceptional circumstances) |
|
|
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. |
|
