Administration

The Cheshire County Football Association was founded in 1878 and has since been responsible for the organisation and development of football within the County boundaries established in 1927. The key administrative functions of The Cheshire County FA revolves around the affiliation of clubs, competitions and leagues, registration of players, recruitment, coaching and assessment of match officials and administering discipline.

Over the last few years there have been major changes in the structure and purpose of the organisation. Firstly the organisation became incorporated and is now, therefore, The Cheshire County FA Limited. Secondly in addition to the administrative function the County FA leads the development of football throughout Cheshire.

The organisation now boasts a thriving Football Development Department which has progressed rapidly over recent years. FA initiatives such as Coach Education, Child Protection, Charter Standard, Mini-Soccer, Girls and Women's Football, Disability Football, Volunteer Support and Education are all dealt with by the Development Department.

The focus of the County FA has changed from that of purely a legislative body to that of a proactive organisation delivering quality methods for increasing the opportunities to play football for people of all ages and abilities. The aim is to raise standards and reward people, many of whom are volunteers, for their contribution to football in Cheshire.[1]

The county is divided into nine areas with each division having one member on the CFA Council, with the exception of Wirral that has two. There are also 9 representatives from the District Associations, 4 representing the clubs of the main leagues and one representative of the Cheshire Schools FA.[2]

The Cheshire County FA is based at Hartford House Recreation Centre in Northwich. The administrative area covered by the CFA overlaps with an area covered by Liverpool FA. According to the Memorandum on Areas and Overlapping of Associations the Liverpool FA covers 18 miles in Lancashire and 8 miles in Cheshire from Liverpool Town Hall.[3]
