The National Club Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) exists to raise standards and to recognize and reward quality clubs, which contributes to quality football experiences for players, officials, volunteers and parents.
In order to raise the overall standard of club administration at all levels of the game, a clear model that identifies and recognizes best practice in all areas of club administration will begin to be rolled out across Australia from March 2012.
The NCAS will provide an accreditation ratings scheme for grassroots football clubs as identified in the National Game Development Strategy. This will set guidelines and criteria for best-practice models which can be replicated in clubs throughout the country.
Only clubs who are currently registered with FFA through the MyFootballClub system will be eligible to apply for accreditation through the NCAS.
The NCAS will have four levels with consistent themes across each level. The criteria within each level become more demanding as a club progresses from one level to the next.
The themes are:
- Teams Entered
- Club Management & Governance
- Child Protection
- Accredited Coaches
- Future
- Promoting Positive Behaviour
More information on how clubs can get involved in the NCAS will be available on the MyFootballClub shortly.
