Grampound Football Club is one
of the oldest clubs in Cornwall
(founded in 1902). We have high
standards and the club likes to
do things in the right way. We
aim to provide the best
facilities and equipment we can
for players to enjoy their
football and in return ask for
support in advancing the club in
terms of its playing standards
and in maintaining its place in
the community of Grampound and
in the wider football community.
We have excellent facilities
including a recently re-laid and
drained pitch and clean, modern
changing facilities. The
pitch is one of the best around
and is maintained by the club
and is well looked after.
Grampound FC was a FA Charter
Standard Club. The FA
Charter Standard programme was a
kitemark which recognises and
rewards high quality levels of
provision in club and league
football. Criteria for
achieving this national kitemark
included attending training
events each year, having a
trained Welfare Officer,
criminal records checks for all
volunteers, Emergency
Aid-trained volunteers at all
matches and training sessions,
FA Respect programme sign-up, a
qualified coach for each youth
team and exemplary club
administration in place.
The Charter Standard scheme has
now been superceded by the
England Football Accredited
process. An audit still takes
place each year to ensure
standards are being maintained
