Developing partnerships between schools and Charter Standard clubs is a growing focus of The FA.
A fundamental theme underpinning all football development is supporting young people to move from school-based football to a suitable club opportunity. The FA provides funding and resources, via the 3 Lions FC programme, to help schools and clubs broker sustainable relationships and develop high quality school-club links. Delivery takes place within School Sport Partnership areas across the country, with many key sporting and football agencies engaged in the programme.
The School–Club Link Programme is football’s commitment to the delivery of the Physical Education and School Sport Club Links (PESSCL) strategy document, which sets out to ensure that all children, whatever their circumstances or abilities, should be able to participate in and enjoy physical education and sport.
Funding is available to support the running of coaching courses and festivals, to provide bursaries for coaching courses and club development as well as supporting liaison work for schools wishing to become FA Charter Standard.
For more information on how your school and club can be involved in the programme, please contact the Football Development Officer on 01539 730946 or alternatively e-mail Adam.Panter@Westmorlandfa.com
