FA reveals development review findings
Recommendations to improve the development of young football players have been unveiled following an extensive review carried out by the Football Association (FA).
FA director of football development Sir Trevor Brooking has identified 25 measures in order to help improve the sport from grassroots level to the Club England set-up. A reform of the way that youth football is delivered in England has been placed at the centre of the proposals, while another major theme focuses on coach development.
The FA is proposing to invest in the education of coaches, which will complement the new St George's Park development near Burton upon Trent. FA general secretary Alex Horne said: "The recommendations are fundamental in helping us to ensure that we produce more and better English players, and that everything possible is being done to help ensure their transition into successful international teams.
"The FA must ensure that the highest quality coaches are available to the game, and that these coaches are trained with the right skills to specifically work with young players at every age across clubs from grassroots to elite level."
