In this episode, senior national development manager Clare Daniels returns to Coachcast joined by head of grassroots coach development John (Folly) Folwell, to talk about the future of youth football.

The FA has worked with Liverpool John Moores University to record over 450 games in order to review the youth game. Clare and Folly give us a behind-the-scenes look at the impacts that the review will have on attaining four key outcomes. We speak about how children can be provided with the best experience of the game possible, as well as the values of youth football and the underpinning philosophy of the project.
