Nominations have now opened for the English FA Community Awards 2014 and Tracey is inviting constituents to place nominations for an individual or a football club to stand a chance at winning one of the 8 awards up for grabs.

The FA Community Awards presented by McDonalds recognise and reward those unsung heroes who make a difference to grassroots football in their local community, giving up their free time so that children can enjoy the game in safe, welcoming and developing environments.

None of the coaches and volunteers are involved in grassroots football for recognition and wards; they do it for the love of the game and their commitment to their clubs and communities. It is therefore important that we celebrate and recognise their achievements through the Awards to ensure this doesn’t go unnoticed.

You can nominate an individual or club for the following awards:

–          People’s Choice Award- Outstanding Contribution to Commuinity Football

–          Charter Standard Club award

–          Charter Standard Commuity Club Award

–          Charter Standard Development Club Award

–          Charter Standard League Award

–          Volunteer of the Year

–          Young Volunteer of the Year

–          Coach of the Year

To place your nominations, please visit: www.mcdonalds.co.uk/awards. Nominations close on 28th March 2014.
