In 2003 Forest Glade F.C. achieved the FA status of Charter Standard Development Club, one of only 13 in the county. The Charter Standard shows that Forest Glade F.C. follows the FA’s best practice guide that sets standards of coaching, administration and child protection for clubs working with young people. All Forest Glade F.C. coaches, managers and officials that have any contact with young people are CRB checked and the club has its own Club Welfare Officer to ensure a safe environment for all club members.
The club has over 25 teams for the season 2009/2010. The teams will be playing in the Essex Business Houses Football League , the Chelmsford Youth Football League , the Southend and District Junior Sunday Football League and the South East Essex Primary Mini Soccer League .
The club provides excellent playing and training facilities for its members which cover 16 acres. The training facilities are now floodlight and the ground also has its own changing rooms with showers, toilets, and a club house that provides refreshments on match days and Saturday training sessions.
The club supports the FA’s Get into Football Campaign. The campaign aims to ensure there are opportunities for all to play the game and also engage people at all levels in off-the-field roles.
