What’s involved
We create the solid, tried and tested football infrastructure to build the foundations and we work with local community groups and schools to recruit and build the project. It’s essential that this is co-designed with the local community as they know the people and area better than anyone and the club needs to represent the community and the values that represent their home.
Who’s it for?
Young people who might not have the opportunities that more affluent communities do. We build and develop football club infrastructure and build core values within the club identity whilst creating football sessions that focus on fun and player development over short-term results.
The main thing to engineer with youth football clubs is sustainability. A lot of clubs sprout up and then fold, so it’s essential to build from the ground up and work closely with local people to develop them alongside the teams and to bring through a cohort of local people to coach and develop the club further.
