Future of Youth Football Review

Emma Clarke

Please share your thoughts on the following questions in order to support the development of the youth football offer - thank you! 

  • How can we maximise the activity levels and involvement of our players?
  • How do we increase the number of touches, actions and decisions for every player?
  • How do we create an environment to ensure more children try football, enjoy football and continue playing football?
  • How do we ensure that you people are given the responsibility to shape their game?

  • 1) more research on female health in the game to avoid injury so players aren't out for extended periods, as well as more research into FIFA 11+ and whether it has impact, and adjust accordingly. Increase coach pool to increase volume of activities in each area

    2) small sided games in training for more touches and decisions, encourage confidence for those who hesitate by giving them specific challenges and rewarding them for achieving targets, encourage better practice within activities (less queueing for a turn) and educating coaches more on this

    3) educate in schools on famous female players so young boys see the representation and let girls join in during PE for example, use activities that include adaptations for those with disabilities but that everyone can engage with - esp in public schools where there is less capacity to separate these pathways

    4) spread the word about forums like this so youth voice is heard, have coaches ask their players what they want to do in sessions so they can adapt to that specific group
