Kit Schemes

Junior Kit Scheme

Funding: Free kit or equipment up to the value of £400

Funder: The Football Foundation

Aim: To provide young teams with kit.

Who can apply?

Any club, school or organisation can apply for a kit grant including all representative teams at a junior level up to and including District.  To be eligible for funding groups must:

• be within the qualifying age group: Under 7s - Under 18s (with the exception of adults with disabilities)

• not have previously received a kit grant from either the Football Foundation's Junior Kit Scheme or the recent Barclaycard Free Kicks Scheme within a three-year period. This is with the exception of clubs, as long as one application is for a girls' team and the other one is for a boys' team. A separately affiliated section within a club, which has its own officials and structure, would be considered independently. Please note, schools may not apply for a second kit within a three-year period.

• either have achieved FA Charter standard, or agrees to work towards this standard within a period of 12 months. For further advice please contact your local county FA.

• have a Child Protection Policy in place

• have a minimum of ten registered members

• teams should not be of mixed gender for age groups 11yrs and over, in accordance with FA ruling

Deadline: No deadline.
