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) Utilise small formats of the game that can be setup multiple times alongside one another (therefore less/no lines in training sessions).

    2) Place a bigger emphasis on game-based coaching - we must ensure that what the game teaches our players is relevant and recognisable in the context of match-play.

    3) Encourage a player-centred approach: every individual is different and our sessions should reflect that.

    4) We must do all we can to ensure every environment is a positive one. Where necessary and possible, we should look to build low pressure environments for young people to develop, where results are not the focus of their involvement.

    5) Ensure there are representative voices in every conversation. 'No decision about us should be made without us.'
