We are very proud to once again be recognised by the Football Association as a Level 3 Accredited club. This is the highest level of accreditation and is recognition of the amazing work undertaken by our volunteers.

What is needed to be a Level 3 Accredited Club?

Each year we have to complete an accreditation review which is monitored by the Oxfordshire FA. As part of this process we have to ensure that each team has a coach who has a minimum qualification of FA Level 1 Introduction to Football. All coaches also need to have an in date CRC check, First Aid and Safeguarding qualifications. This applies to all of our registered teams from minis to our open age teams.

The level of accreditation also recognises the pathway that the club offers for youth teams, boys and girls, open age teams and pan disability.

The 36 teams that Easington Sports Football Club has affiliated meets all of the pathway requirements which ensures that we achieve the highest grade.

Without the hard work and dedication of our fabulous 90 plus coaches this is not achievable.

It is our passion to offer a pathway for local players to ensure that we can offer them an opportunity to play whatever age, gender, and ability. We have over 600 registered players which makes us one of the largest clubs in Oxfordshire.

Every registered player is part of the Clan – and we hope to ensure that they all enjoy their experience and develop with us.
