FA launches four-year plan to ‘transform the landscape’ of grassroots football
Strategy aims to get 220,000 more people playingFA wants to install over 300 new artificial pitches
The Football Association has launched a new four-year strategy which aims to “transform the landscape” of the grassroots level. The ambition of the latest plan is to get a further 220,000 people playing across England by forming an additional 15,000 teams.
Entitled “A Thriving Grassroots Game”, the strategy has a number of key pillars, with the aim of building on the work of the previous action plan and succeeding where it failed. There are five areas of focus for this approach as the FA look to take action to improve behaviour and increase the number of coaches and volunteers at amateur level, and retain those already in the system.
