Football Futures:
The Football Futures Programme aims to recruit, retain, develop, reward and provide a progressive pathway for young leaders in order to develop a skilled football workforce.
The Programme covers the following six themes:
• Coaching & Working with teams.
• Refereeing.
• Running Events.
• Running & Developing the Game.
• Promoting the Game.
• Respect.
Participants are encouraged to gain experience across the themes as opposed to sticking to just one. This programme is open to anyone who has an interest in Leadership & Volunteering through Football – You do NOT have to play football to be on our programme!

National Young Leaders Camp:
The FA organise a National Young Leaders Camp where County FAs are invited to send 2 young leaders, one male, one female, from the County FA group (They have to be aged 16 or 17 on the date of the camp).
