Clubs are the heartbeat of football in this country. That is why The FA Charter Standard club programme, which raises standards and recognises and rewards quality, is so important.

Every player at some stage of their career will play in a grassroots club. We have a shared responsibility to ensure that this experience is a positive one - whether you are six or 60.

The FA Charter Standard Programme provides recognition that clubs are well run and sustainable, with child protection and safety paramount. It also recognises a club's commitment to coaching, player and coach development, and the raising of standards of behaviour in the game.

Thame Football Partnership is a Charter Standard Community Club and has two football sections within the Club, Thame United (Founded in 18883)and Thame Boys,Youth & Girls FC (Founded in 1983) it currently runs 26 sides from under 6's to adult age groups for all abilities.
