Launch of the FA Grassroots Strategy 

The FA have launched a new landmark strategy to grow and develop grassroots football in England, titled ‘A Thriving Grassroots Game’. The strategy has been developed in collaboration with the County FA network, with County FAs adopting the same strategy framework and sharing strategic priorities over the four-year period to ensure the needs of the game are met locally.

Through the new strategy, the grassroots game will play an important role in delivering three of the four FA ‘game-changer’ priorities over the next four years. These are to create equal opportunities for women and girls, transform the pitch landscape nationally and see a game free from discrimination.

The new strategy outlines three key drivers to deliver this:

·         Support thriving community clubs – To support a network of thriving community clubs to provide a brilliant football offer to their local communities, to grow in a sustainable way, and to be well-run

·         Connect and serve participants – To improve our digital offering and deliver new online services which are personalised, easy to access and help participants to fulfil their roles and find new opportunities

·         Progress the game’s governance – To better serve all football participants through the highest governance standards, at all levels in the grassroots game
