Grampound FC Home Page

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    The Charter Standard scheme has now been superceded by the England Football Accredited process.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.
