Congratulations to Rotherham & District Sunday League, Barnsley & District Sunday League and SHCFA Flexi11s League on becoming England Football Accredited

All three leagues facilitate open age male 11v11 football and have worked with the County FA to support many of their member clubs to achieve Accreditation status and develop clear league development plans for future improvements to their offers. 

There are now 12 Sheffield & Hallamshire FA local leagues that are England Football Accredited, which showcases the commitment of volunteers within leagues and clubs to ensure there are the best possible environment to enjoy the beautiful game! 

Nathan Batchelor, FA National Grassroots Leagues Services Manager, added: "It is testament to the commitment and progressive attitude of these leagues and their member clubs that the leagues are able to attain England Football Accredited League status. All England Football Accredited leagues should be applauded for embracing this process and demonstrating that they are constantly striving to improve, for players, coaches, referees and clubs.”

Sheffield & Hallamshire FA are looking to continue supporting their clubs to achieve England Football Accreditation. We are delighted to be able to recognise and reward the league for all the hard work that has gone into improving and growing the provisions available to all and we look forward to working together in the years to come.

The England Football Accredited League is an accreditation that sets an operational benchmark for FA sanctioned leagues. This is awarded to leagues which can demonstrate their commitment to provide well organised football in safer, more inclusive environments.
