FA Grassroots Football in the
community
The FA revealed a new £200m plan which
will boost grassroots football particularly in peripheral
areas such as Cornwall and the South West and benefit young
players who both live in and visit Perranporth and other Cornwall
communities.
The FA has announced its biggest ever programme of investment
into grassroots football, £200 million; and a strategy
that will set the agenda for the next five years.
The FA wants everyone to have an opportunity
to be involved in football and to help them be the best they
can. The FA want to ensure football is played, watched and
enjoyed in a safe, positive environment.
The FA has already committed to investing £44
million per season until 2012 improving every aspect of grassroots
football. That’s a significant jump of £10 million
a year and includes a £15 million contribution to the
Football Foundation
The FA have shown that football can deliver
against important national targets on health, physical activity,
social inclusion and community cohesion.
