National Game Strategy 2008-2012 and Cornwall FA
The FA’s National Game Strategy 2008-12 outlines 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 National Game Strategy 2008-2012 and what aims and objectives within that format we will have in Cornwall. A download is available on the right.
We have now held two events at which there were updates on the National Game Strategy and other initiatives, such as Respect we have been implementing throughout the county.
The roadshows were at Holmans FC on Thursday 15th January and at Launceston FC on Tuesday 20th January.
The members of the Strategy Sub Group are Barry Cudmore, Geoff Lee, Andy Mitchell and Chris Coombes.
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.
