inclusive Football Club and provides opportunities for girls, boys, young

All coaching in our Club is carried out by qualified coaches who are
trained and have been screened for their suitability for working with
young people in line with our Charter Standard and the Liverpool County FA.
Our home ground is situated on Knowsley Lane
(Lord Derby's Memorial Playing Fields) or Twig Lane
(Jubilee Park). We have four pitches and 2 mini-soccer pitches and training
areas
with changing facilities. We have just had new changing
rooms
installed
with
adequate changing for match officials and have a small
kitchen
and tuck shop.
Our Grounds have adequate off road car
parking
facilities.
Club development is an integral part of The FA's commitment to raising
the standards within
the provision of football. The Football Association
Charter for Quality recommends that the
player is central to all
developmental
needs and aspirations. The FA Charter Standard
Clubs;
Scheme
encapsulates this philosophy by assisting clubs like Knowsley
South FC
to provide quality experiences for all players. Liverpool County FA
have
developed a 3-year
strategic plan to support grass roots clubs including
the implementation of the Effective Football Club Administration Scheme, a
volunteer strategy, a coach education programme and FA child protection training
courses available to all our Coaches team officials and Club officers.
In the continuously changing and fluid environment in which football is developed, it is essential to have this support to equip our football club with the necessary structures to improve standards and remain sustainable.
