National Game Strategy 2008-2012 and Cornwall FA
The FA’s National Game Strategy 2008-12 will outline how we will work both nationally and locally to develop football to ensure you can all enjoy the game in a safe, positive environment.
Nearly 20,000 football participants and providers have already had their say in the most fundamental review to date of the state of grassroots football in England. Having your say is important because we want to ensure the Strategy delivers what you want for football over the next four years.
We held a number of consultation events with clubs, leagues and referees to discuss the forthcoming National Game Strategy 2008-2012 and what aims and objectives within that format we have in Cornwall.
The next step will be publishing the draft strategy for Cornwall sometime in May or June.
The members of the Strategy Sub Group are Barry Cudmore, Geoff Lee, Andy Mitchell, Chris Coombes and Morag Robertson.
The Key Areas Of The National Game Plan 2008-2012
GOAL 1: Grow the game and retain participants:
We need to increase the number of players and keep people in the game.
GOAL 2: Raise standards and address abusive behaviour:
We need to create a safe and positive environment for everyone
in football.
GOAL 3: Develop better players:
Specifically, we need to focus on improving the quality of the 5-
11 age group.
GOAL 4: Run the game effectively:
We need to lead and govern the game with integrity and
minimum bureaucracy.
In turn, three key enablers are required to underpin delivery of these goals
1. A skilled workforce:
We need to recruit and train a highly skilled and diverse paid and volunteer workforce.
2. Improved facilities:
We need to improve the quality of – and access to – training and playing facilities.
3. Marketing and PR:
We need effective, targeted campaigns to drive key messages, such as raising standards of behaviour, respect towards referees and the positive benefits of participating in football.
