Local and National provision of Football
Grassroots
The Football Foundation brings together The F.A, Premier League and Government in a partnership for its funding at grassroots level. This body is designed to fund development of children's football to help them recognise their sporting potential. The F.A put £7million into the Foundation, with the sum certain to rise significantly in the future. The main beneficiaries of initial funding will be projects to develop facilities such as pitches and changing rooms.
Mini Soccer is The FA's approved form of football for the under 10s, using small-sided non-competitive games to encourage a fun introduction to football. With no winners or losers, teams play a maximum of 1 hour of football each. The emphasis is on enjoyment and participation.
To help encourage good grassroots development the F.A developed a charter. This seeks to reward and encourage good practice so that parents and children can demand a minimum standard of provision from schools, clubs and holiday courses
Local provision
In my area football is catered for quite well, not because all you need is an empty field and two goals. The main club in my area that encourages football involvement at primary school level is Brentford football club. Brentford have set up schemes such as 'football in the community'. In these schemes coaches' go to centres, such as schools and provide children the opportunity to have training. These schemes aim is to encourage enjoyment and help kids improve their game with the use of skill exercises and small-sided games.
