Our club provides fantastic opportunities to play the sport to a wide cross-section of our local community, in particular to children and young people.

As such, it is critical that our club maintains minimum standards in management, quality, safety and accessibility for children and young people.

RFL Club Accreditation has been designed to maintain minimum standards in clubs with children and young people. Clubs with only adult teams can still receive RFL Club Accreditation, as many will have young people under the age of 18 at the club.

The standards set out in RFL Club Accreditation are also designed to encourage good practice from clubs, by becoming more open, welcoming and accessible to the local community.

In order to achieve RFL Club Accreditation, the club must be able to meet certain criteria laid out by the RFL and agreed by Sport England.
