19 Jun VAFC Achieves BC Soccer Club Charter Status
Vancouver Athletic Football Club (VAFC) has attained Standard 1 of the BC Soccer Club Charter Program.
The program’s criteria is based on three categories: Administrative, Technical, and Governance. The criteria and the program were created to help assure players, parents, coaches, and administrators that their club’s operations are meeting a specific set of on and off-field standards. The criteria have been designed to help support and improve an organization’s programming and operation, while still being achievable by all types and sizes of soccer clubs.
The full set of Standard 1 criteria can be found on BC Soccer’s Club Charter website.
“The Charter Status recognizes VAFC’s existing high level of excellence in supporting youth players: One of the few clubs in Vancouver achieve this certification. It demonstrates that the club has met and will continue to adhere to BCSA standards for player development, coaching development, and administrative best practices,” notes Club President Darren Sherbot. “We are excited to be recognized under this program and VAFC is now in a proactive position to pursue the next level of Canadian Soccer Association standards being rolled out.”
About BC Soccer Charter Program
From BC Soccer’s website:
BC Soccer’s Charter Program is designed to assist and support members (full and associate) and affiliated soccer clubs. The program is open to all BC Soccer members and affiliate soccer clubs. The charter is a free “opt-in” program meaning organizations have the choice to be a part of it.
It has been designed to enable these organizations to be recognized and receive support and added service from BC Soccer regardless of the organization’s size and location within BC.
The BC Soccer Charter Program originally was scheduled to consist of three progressions with Standard One being available in 2016 and Standards Two and Standards Three being available in 2017 and 2018. BC Soccer is currently not releasing Standards Two and Three as previously planned but rather, supporting the implementation of Canada Soccer’s Club Licensing Program.
As of June 2019, there are only 28 charter-recognized soccer organizations within BC.
