There are several very good reasons for young footballers to join Yate United Football Club. We will try to answer any questions that you may have:

• What does the club do to ensure the safety of it's players?
  Every coach or team manager is vetted through the FA CRB Unit. We have also introduced all of the recommendations of the Safer-Soccer initiative launched by the Avon Youth League in conjunction with the Avon & Somerset Police Child-Safe Scheme. Ask the Secretary for a copy of our child protection policy and guidelines.
•  What does the club do to train it's coaches to treat an injury to a player?
  It is the club's stated intention that all coaches and team managers will hold first aid or treatment of injury qualifications gained through recognised sources such as St John's Ambulance, Red Cross or the Football Association. We are well on the way to achieving this and a simple question to the Club Secretary regarding the age group or team that interests you will enable us to update you on this situation.
•  Do the team managers and coaches hold any recognised coaching qualifications?
  As with treatment of injuries and first aid for players, it is the club's intention that all coaches will be suitably qualified through Junior Team Leader courses run by the County FA, or through nationally recognised coaching courses. Ask the secretary about the team or age group that interests you.  All our Managers and Assistant Managers are at least level 1 qualified.
•  Do you have Charter Standard Award?
  Yes we were awarded the Charter Standard Award in 2007
