This site has been revised due to the fundamental changes to the Club structure etc., as we prepare to introduce the F.A. Criteria on football coaching and other matters surrounding the grass-roots level of the game, but to advise on what every Club should be implementing to ensure the Club and its officers are protected from what are potentially very difficult situations and circumstances.

The North Holmwood F.C. has been formed as a limited company and a non-profit making organisation. In addition to this, 2 other companies have been set up to implement a Club structure designed to protect the Club and further details are disclosed under the link above "The Club".

Having spoken with Surrey F.A. initially and being referred to F.A. the arrangements we have implemented has been ratified that our limited company status is something every Club should be implementing to ensure the Club and its officers are protected from what are potentially very difficult situations and circumstances which could expose anyone to legal consequences not covered under the standard insurance policies taken out.

It is our intention as a Club to promote the skills of the game as laid out by the Football Association and endorsed by the Surrey F.A. to which we are affiliated and the Club is adopting the F.A. Charter Standard Club Development Programme and the other initiatives being implemented by the football's governing bodies.

We hope to be actively involved in the due process of 'Your Game, Your Say, Our Goal'. Strategy 2008-2012, having met with the Surrey F.A. development officers recently.

As it is, the Horsham & District League have indicated an interest at committee level to may be attached to our Osgood Schlatters - Sport Injury Awareness/Sports Tolerance programme project and this is associated with their activities to be actively involved with the promotion of the 'The Respect' programme being promoted by the Football Association.

As a Club, we have an ambitious programme in that we have created our own School of Coaching deliberately designed to teach the technical skills of the games to young players, and we are involved at Schools level, both mini-sided and senior within the local community.

Our reference to 'The Ricketts' will enlighten you to Jack Traynor and he will be instrumental in the football coaching side of matters associated with our Club and work on the technical skills basis.

To promote the skills of the game as laid down by the Football Association and endorsed by the Surrey Football Association and the Club is adopting the F.A. Charter Standard Club Development Programme.

At this moment in time a major fund raising event is being put together which will be at local, regional and a national event to conclude later in the year and we shall require your help and assistance in creating the information for us to show you what one Merchant Banker found exciting enough to take it to New York and full details of this and the complete system will be shown to you to invoke and provoke discussion as to the plausibility of this system at a grassroots level and in addition to this, we will be able to show you evidence of the subject matter of previous proposals of a European Super League which has been discussed in the past, but no-one has ever been able to sustain to a full conclusion.

It is hoped that you find this site enjoyable and will support our endeavors, especially regarding the Osgood Schlatters Appeal.
