The Charter Standard League Programme assesses the ability of leagues to provide a high quality, safe and enjoyable football experience against a standard set of criteria.

The Newcastle Mni Soccer localandtrusted.com League will continue to develop our processes and maintain standards, through on-going support from the NFA County staff and the review and on-going development of our league development plan, as part of an annual health check process.

The achievement in March 2011 of gaining Charter Standard League status, demonstrates we are willing to work towards a minimum operating standard and to raising standards and addressing any instances of poor behaviour within the league and member clubs.

By reviewing what we do well, what we want to do better and by identifying how we can improve, we will demonstrate we are fully committed to developing better players through a safe and supportive environment.

The benefits of achieving Charter Standard League status, are that we have proved to have a very clear development plan in place, together with an agreed support package with the Northumberland FA County.

This league was also recognised as an official FA Respect league in 2010 have procedures in place to improve standards and address poor behaviour.

The FA Charter Standard League status is recognition that we are committed to a quality experience for all and that we are a well run league.
