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. offer more cheaper FA facilities as some people who just want to play football, sometimes cannot afford to pay the price of pitches and this would get all people from all backgrounds involved
    2. By decreasing pitch size and team size this could increase the number of opportunities for every player in a team so for example if you played a 7 v 7 on a 9 aside pitch this gives more players time on the ball to make a decision and create something and also leads to everyone having a chance however match lengths would need shortened because if the pitches are bigger with less players , they have more space to cover means they will become tired quicker. Also in training games reducing it down to minimal touches for players who hold onto the ball too long usually and making their condition a pass or to use a weaker foot.
    3. I personally think football needs to be most impacted in schools as it is a safe place for younger people to go, doesn’t matter where you live playing football would unite schools so by giving schools more football facilities and leagues including football for girls would increase the love for football. A school is somewhere most people find a comforting environment so by introducing football this means more people will play because they will want to follow their friends
    4. Dedicate specific time for higher members of the FA to listen to what we have to say and how to deal in which we might have ideas for as we have better experience dealing with younger people as we are around that same era and age
