Local and national provision football

In this project I will be researching the provision of football in England, but

mainly focussing on provision in my local area, Cambridge. I will be

investigating the provision of football from the most basic level, being

grassroots and looking at the opportunity available to progress to elite level.

Also I will be looking into provision for women/girls and the disabled.

Grass roots level: - grassroots is the most basic level of playing football,

like playing at the local recreation ground with your friends; this then leads

to a more competitive level like playing for a local club. The football

association are good practice at grass roots level in football via their Charter

Standard scheme so that parents and children can demand a minimum standard of

provision from schools, clubs and holiday courses. Cambridge City is currently

working with Cambridgeshire Football Association to help local schools receive

their Charter Standard Mark. They are one of only 80 clubs in the United Kingdom

to be awarded the Community Club status as recognition of their Football in the

Community and Youth
