A FAQ sheet which lists the criteria on the scheme can be downloaded at the bottom of this article. Each league should refer to the sheet, when applying for a grant. It should be noted that any league that received grant aid in Seasons 2011/12 will not be eligible to apply for funding this season.

A list of items considered to be eligible for financial assistance is included on the Frequently Asked Questions sheet together with details of the ‘Priority’ and ‘Low Priority’ categories. The amount of grant is dependent on the number of registered teams each league has and will be based on £10 per team with a minimum grant of £350 and a maximum grant of £1,000 available. If a league has 150 teams or more they can apply for grant aid up to a maximum of £1,200.
