FA unveils football development strategy
The Football Association (FA) has launched its new blueprint to help with the technical development of young players within the English game.
FA Learning - the national governing body's educational arm - is now distributing the 275-page The Future Game guide to all academy managers across England. The FA will then roll out the blueprint to professional managers, coaches and executives, ahead of a scheduled autumn launch at grassroots level.
It is hoped the new guide will help improve the technical aspects of training in England, particularly in the crucial early stages of development among younger players. The requirements for young players looking to compete at elite level in future years are set out in The Future Game, as well as the FA's coaching and playing philosophy.
Sir Trevor Brooking, the FA's director of football development, said: "This is a vital document for the future of the English game. If we are serious about developing world class players for England, this is our start point. "It has been many decades since The FA last produced a technical document aimed at reviewing the state of the game and projecting forward how we need to develop players to contest at the highest level of world football."
