Youth Development Review
•
On 28 May 2012, The FA formally ratified some of the recommendations of the Youth Development
Review.
•
These amendments have been developed over two years of research, consultations and listening to those
involved in the youth game, most importantly those that play – the children.
•
These positive changes have been put in place to improve enjoyment, fun and development of young
players allowing more touches, on a better proportioned pitch with an increase of involvement in the
game as a whole. The changes within The FA’s Youth Development Review will make youth football better
for everyone involved.
•
The changes will be phased in from 2013/2014 season and resources are available to assist, help and
advise you of the changes to age groups, pitch size and Laws of the game. They also aim to provide you
with good practice and other recommendations to improve players participation and enjoyment as well as
minor changes to develop better players.
•
It is important to note that the Law changes to Mini-Soccer that include a retreat line, the option of
quarters for development matches and roll-ins for U7/8 are optional for season 2012/13.
•
This is about a modern, child-friendly approach to youth football, challenging the win-at-all-costs
mentality that is stifling development and enjoyment for young people. Working together with a proactive
attitude, adults can help develop a better learning environment for young people that puts their needs at
the centre of the process.
