ONE NATIONAL PLAN For Non-Professional Football in Scotland 2013-2015
Page // 4
Football is the National Sport of Scotland and the People’s Game. It contributes to
the health of our nation and has the power to make a positive impact in our local
communities. Football is intrinsic to Scotland’s culture and can create a sense of pride,
having the capacity to lift the spirits of our nation and provide a sense of purpose.
The beating heart of our game lies within grassroots football. Through the participation,
passion, energy and dedication of players, coaches, volunteers and officials our game
is enjoyed the length and breadth of our country, providing extensive benefits to all
involved.
For the good of our nation and for the good of our game, non-professional football
needs to be vibrant. For all ages, for all abilities and for people across all walks of life, our
aim should be to make the game available, attractive and rewarding, widening its impact
and the obvious benefits such as citizenship and health.
This plan has been developed during a challenging but exciting time in our game and
with the willingness of all major partners to collaborate and work collectively towards an
agreed vision for football.
Non-professional football in Scotland is governed and led
strategically by the Scottish FA together with the
following organisations:
• East of Scotland League
• Scottish Amateur FA
• Scottish Junior FA
• Scottish Schools’ FA
• Scottish Welfare FA
• Scottish Women’s Football
• Scottish Youth FA
• South of Scotland League.
SECTION 1: UNITED FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME

Page // 5
Representatives of these organisations form the Non-Professional Game Board (NPGB)
which governs non-professional football in Scotland. The NPGB is the strategic body
which will drive this plan forward.
These partner organisations, in addition to the extensive work of delivering football
across our country also promote, develop and foster the game of football, administering
leagues, competitions, clubs and schools as well as registering players from across
Scotland. In recent years, the Scottish FA and partner organisations have collaborated
more closely and have now created this National Plan for the benefit of everyone in the
non-professional game.
Working together NPGB members and the Scottish FA have developed this plan which
sets out clear aims for the future of non-professional football and builds on the good in
our game at present. The basis for improvement is evident. With strong, well organised
and committed partners, coupled with a highly recognised Football Development staffing
structure the building blocks are in place to take our game forward.
This plan builds on the ‘strong quality growth’ aspect of the Scottish FA’s Corporate
plan ‘Scotland United - A 2020 Vision’ and incorporating the views and feedback from
the non-professional game via consultation nationally and regionally and through the
member associations. This plan also seeks to strengthen the existing partnerships and
take our game forward to 2015 and beyond.

Our vision is clear; to grow our national game through
developing a culture of improved performance at all levels,
taking the game to a wider audience and expanding on
the benefit, enjoyment and value that football can bring
to everyone across Scotland.
United together behind this plan, the Scottish FA and
members of the NPGB will deliver the best and most attractive
game possible at all levels, raising standards for those currently
in the game and widening its appeal and reach to attract more
people into football, ensuring opportunities for all.

The role of the NPGB will be to lead the delivery of this new plan through a culture of
unity and collaboration, bringing together and working more closely with a range of
partners and people who share in the passion for improving and growing our game.
The approach will be to share the value of improved provision and raised standards whilst
promoting the value of football to a wider audience.
Whilst leading this plan, our approach will be to engage with the wider game as a whole
and establish this ambitious plan at the heart of football, partner organisations and
volunteers across the country.
The Scottish FA and NPGB members are committed to this plan and will provide a range
of expertise and investment as well as seeking to attract new resources into the game
through engaging with new partners. This will be achieved by demonstrating the power
and impact of football at national level.

Through the six Scottish FA regions (see below) and at a local level football will work together to present
a strong, collaborative approach and by demonstrating the impact our game can have for the people of
Scotland, we will establish a more influential and co-ordinated approach with all relevant stakeholders.
Regional Committees with representatives from across football, reflecting the makeup of the new Non-
Professional Game Board, will work together in order to deliver on this plan. The role of the Regional
Committees will be to assist in the delivery of the plan and provide local knowledge to ensure projects and
programmes are relevant to the area. This will also create and develop a culture of shared best practice and
collaborative working, vital to allow us to maximise resources and impact.

Working together our game will……
• Establish a culture of improvement where standards are continually raised across
the board
• Increase participation with ‘football for all’ and an emphasis on fun and enjoyment at
the heart of provision
• Thrive in our communities with excellent people leading and growing the playing
community through a pathway which inspires participation from school to club and
from childhood through to adulthood
• Be modern and attractive, inspiring players and volunteers to ensure the positive
values of our game are central to the way we behave in football and in life
• Establish strong, vibrant, well run clubs and schools at the heart of their community
• Work with government and local authorities to provide good access to more and
higher quality facilities
• Provide innovative and sustainable financial models to clubs with empowered and
skilled leaders to take forward continued improvements to our game
• Support a valued and passionate volunteer and coach
workforce who shape a culture across our game of
integrity, trust and respect
SECTION 4: HOW SHOULD OUR GAME LOOK IN 2015?

ONE NATIONAL PLAN For Non-Professional Football in Scotland 2013-2015
Page // 10
Working together we will create a game we are all proud to be a part of. With the
support and direction of everyone involved in the game and uniting behind these agreed
objectives we will ensure we have a game fit for the future:
•	 INCREASED	PARTICIPATION	IN	OUR	GAME
o Particular attention must be paid to attracting young people into football as well as
creating better and more connected pathways to minimise drop out. Work will be
done to link youth and adult football more effectively as well as to develop focused
programmes for groups such as the over 35 and masters ages
o Through more focussed and better connected community programmes the
game will provide an increase in high quality opportunities for people to play our
national game at all levels, with a focus on giving everyone who wants to play, the
chance to play football regardless of age, gender, ability, ethnicity and social or
demographic circumstance
o An expanded provision of programmes and expertise will further promote diversity
and equity and the ‘football for all’ culture in our game. Recently, the Scottish FA
through Scottish Government ‘CashBack’ funding has employed staff to focus their
work in the areas of Girl’s and Women’s football and staff to provide more football
for black and ethnic communities. By reaching out to these groups, being more
proactive and inclusive we will further grow our game
o Through better connected schools and clubs we will direct more young players into
the non-professional game. Schools and clubs will be encouraged and supported
to work more closely on providing suitable pathways into existing clubs, leagues
and affiliated associations for lifelong involvement
o Developing alongside this there will be a modernised and integrated system to
understand better the trends of participation in football across Scotland.
•	 DEVELOPING	CLUBS	AND	SCHOOLS
o The Scottish FA will work more closely with affiliated national associations, clubs,
schools and local leaders in the game to raise standards through the Quality Mark
Accreditation Scheme and Schools Awards Scheme to further develop strong,
sustainable, well run community models with increased capacities and improved
provision. Regional staff with a specific responsibility for this area will provide
expertise and support to clubs and schools at all levels of the non-professional
game
o The continued development of school to club links will be a feature of our ongoing
work, with the aim of working closely with local authorities, education and Active
Schools to ensure players have local opportunities to progress into the pathway

o 	Clubs and schools will also benefit from National and Regional Development Forums where
best practice will be shared and where ideas on developing the game can be explored
and allowed to flourish. This will include a greater degree of ‘Project Based Support’ and
pastoral care for clubs in particular for those working on larger scale projects. Developing a
business approach to club development and recognising the potential in areas such as social
enterprise will be other areas of work undertaken
o 	The Scottish FA will provide a more modern, interactive website with a range
of information to support the non-professional game.
•	 VIBRANT VOLUNTEER WORKFORCE
o 	People will be at the heart of the plan. Initiatives will be established
to attract new volunteers into football from parents, ex-players,
further and higher education students to people simply with a
passion for the game. We will also look at developing relationships
with business, commercial and financial institutions to recruit skilled
volunteers in these critical areas
o 	To ensure the quality of our game is strong, we will work with a range
of partners to develop the skills of volunteers in football, giving ongoing
guidance and support in areas of finance, facility development, governance and
leadership
o 	Volunteers will be better valued and recognised for their work through increased resources
and focus to highlight their importance to our game
o 	An increase in quality and quantity of officials go hand in hand with the increase in
participation. National and regional schemes including referee SVQ programmes in
conjunction with schools and further education will be delivered to enhance this area along
with the creation of a new referee short course.
•	 COACH EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT
o 	Coaches are central to providing good quality activity and establishing a positive culture
for all players to flourish in. Through improved quality of courses, improved resources and
better access to coach education courses we will engage with more coaches more often.
The comprehensive coach education structure will provide a range of courses suitable for
volunteers just starting out in the game through to those looking to continually develop and
improve their knowledge
o A vibrant In-Service programme for coaches will be established and delivered across the
country to ensure coaches at all levels are up to date with modern progressive techniques
o Through an improved and updated website, ‘Coach World’ will provide access to the latest
information on coaching, allowing best practice to be promoted and shared instantly to the
whole coaching community
ONE NATIONAL PLAN
Page // 13
•	 MORE ATTRACTIVE MODERN GAME
o Having established national and regional facility forums, the Scottish FA will publish and
promote our first Facilities Strategy. The core aim of the strategy is to improve the quality,
quantity, access to and availability of facilities for all of non-professional football. It will
be used as a point of reference to engage more closely with Scottish Government, local
authorities and private providers and will drive forward the need to work more collaboratively
with all partners to develop new and improve existing facilities across Scotland
o Whilst the Women’s game and children’s football have taken the step to move to a change
of season, playing and training from March to November and making use of better weather
conditions, there is a need to fully explore the potential benefits this would have for the whole
of the non-professional game. A comprehensive study into the feasibility of this will take place
considering all aspects and involving all relevant partners
o Our game when delivered well can be both a joy to participate in and can have such a positive
impact on the lives of those involved. To ensure this, volunteers, coaches, officials, leaders,
parents and players will be asked to unite behind the ‘Positive Coaching Scotland’ programme
which will integrate key messages into all aspects of the plan. This project seeks to establish
the right culture of respect and improved touchline behaviour through ‘Honouring the Game’.
The programme also seeks to address the ‘win at all cost’ culture and put the development
of confidence and self-esteem at its core. We must all work together to deliver a game which
is fun and enjoyable to play in and which, for parents, displays the benefits and merits of
football beyond just health and happiness. Attention will also be given to limit drop out in
particular at key stages such as at 14 years into adult football.
•	 MORE TALENTED YOUNG PLAYERS
o Contributing to ‘Perform and Win’ within the ‘Scottish United A 2020 Vision’, this plan will see
the implementation of a network of Development Centres across the country. This programme
will support the best young grassroots players to improve and develop,
helping ambitious young players to meet the target of 10,000
hours of quality practice and development
o In addition the Scottish FA will provide coaches, clubs,
schools, volunteers, parents and most importantly players
with a series of resources and online support. This will
be aimed at stimulating progressive practice in order
to help improve the technical, tactical, physical and
psychological qualities of our future top young players.
STRONG EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE
o We will underpin the delivery of the plan through growing a
strong national, regional and local infrastructure that includes
good people and supportive partners. This will be governed
through the Scottish FA, NPGB and regional committees. It will also
involve the ongoing input from affiliated national associations and member leagues and will
be delivered through the football development department, regional teams.

THE NATIONAL PLAYER PATHWAY
The National Player Pathway developed from the Scottish FA ‘Developing Talent Plan’, is an agreed
long-term approach to the development of players at each age and stage of the game from
childhood through to adulthood which may evolve based upon best practice from across the
world as well as research into the development and retention of players. At each of the stages
there are agreed principles of practice set out to ensure there is a modern and attractive game
for all to participate in and with the development and welfare of the player at its centre. From
the first stage of the pathway of 3 to 5 years where we encourage basic fundamental activity and
discovery through play onto the adult game there are a series of progressions which allow the
game to grow with the player. Crucially during the Primary School stages of 6 to 8 and 9 to 12
years, the pathway follows the small-sided game formats of 4 v 4 and 7 v 7 on a developmental
and trophy free basis, focussing on effort, learning and fun rather than match results. The 4 v 4
games are based around festival formats with multiple games to maximise activity and the 7 v 7
stage can be more structured towards the provision of home and away fixtures, always following
the developmental philosophy. Later at youth and adult level the 11-a-side game becomes the
favoured match format, although small-sided football should remain an option which offers variety
to the different levels of ability and the varying commitment people have to football.
The player pathway diagram opposite shows the various stages of development in the
game and the role of the various non-professional game members in its delivery.

The passion, time and energy of volunteers in our game is critical and through this plan
our aim must be to work together, to unite and harness this commitment into our game
through embedding the philosophy of this plan across Scottish football.
Beyond the thousands of volunteers, Scottish Football is made up of the commitment,
support and resources of many partners who we must work with and unite behind this
plan, agreeing roles and responsibilities which combined will help us achieve a better
game for everyone.
The player pathway shows the opportunities available to play the game and be involved
as a volunteer, coach, club leader or official there are projects and initiatives which makes
your involvement in the game easier and more rewarding than ever. Regardless of age,
ability, gender or ethnicity the game is waiting for you to get involved!
Play your part in creating a long, healthy and successful period for non-professional
football leading the way in Scotland and Europe.

  • 4. ONE NATIONAL PLAN For Non-Professional Football in Scotland 2013-2015 Page // 4 Football is the National Sport of Scotland and the People’s Game. It contributes to the health of our nation and has the power to make a positive impact in our local communities. Football is intrinsic to Scotland’s culture and can create a sense of pride, having the capacity to lift the spirits of our nation and provide a sense of purpose. The beating heart of our game lies within grassroots football. Through the participation, passion, energy and dedication of players, coaches, volunteers and officials our game is enjoyed the length and breadth of our country, providing extensive benefits to all involved. For the good of our nation and for the good of our game, non-professional football needs to be vibrant. For all ages, for all abilities and for people across all walks of life, our aim should be to make the game available, attractive and rewarding, widening its impact and the obvious benefits such as citizenship and health. This plan has been developed during a challenging but exciting time in our game and with the willingness of all major partners to collaborate and work collectively towards an agreed vision for football. Non-professional football in Scotland is governed and led strategically by the Scottish FA together with the following organisations: • East of Scotland League • Scottish Amateur FA • Scottish Junior FA • Scottish Schools’ FA • Scottish Welfare FA • Scottish Women’s Football • Scottish Youth FA • South of Scotland League. SECTION 1: UNITED FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME 1
  • 5. Page // 5 Representatives of these organisations form the Non-Professional Game Board (NPGB) which governs non-professional football in Scotland. The NPGB is the strategic body which will drive this plan forward. These partner organisations, in addition to the extensive work of delivering football across our country also promote, develop and foster the game of football, administering leagues, competitions, clubs and schools as well as registering players from across Scotland. In recent years, the Scottish FA and partner organisations have collaborated more closely and have now created this National Plan for the benefit of everyone in the non-professional game. Working together NPGB members and the Scottish FA have developed this plan which sets out clear aims for the future of non-professional football and builds on the good in our game at present. The basis for improvement is evident. With strong, well organised and committed partners, coupled with a highly recognised Football Development staffing structure the building blocks are in place to take our game forward. This plan builds on the ‘strong quality growth’ aspect of the Scottish FA’s Corporate plan ‘Scotland United - A 2020 Vision’ and incorporating the views and feedback from the non-professional game via consultation nationally and regionally and through the member associations. This plan also seeks to strengthen the existing partnerships and take our game forward to 2015 and beyond.

United together behind this plan, the Scottish FA and members of the NPGB will deliver the best and most attractive game possible at all levels, raising standards for those currently in the game and widening its appeal and reach to attract more people into football, ensuring opportunities for all. SECTION 2: OUR VISION 2OUR PLEDGE
  • 7. ONE NATIONAL PLAN Page // 7 The role of the NPGB will be to lead the delivery of this new plan through a culture of unity and collaboration, bringing together and working more closely with a range of partners and people who share in the passion for improving and growing our game. The approach will be to share the value of improved provision and raised standards whilst promoting the value of football to a wider audience. Whilst leading this plan, our approach will be to engage with the wider game as a whole and establish this ambitious plan at the heart of football, partner organisations and volunteers across the country. The Scottish FA and NPGB members are committed to this plan and will provide a range of expertise and investment as well as seeking to attract new resources into the game through engaging with new partners. This will be achieved by demonstrating the power and impact of football at national level.

  • 8. ONE NATIONAL PLAN For Non-Professional Football in Scotland 2013-2015 Page // 8 Through the six Scottish FA regions (see below) and at a local level football will work together to present a strong, collaborative approach and by demonstrating the impact our game can have for the people of Scotland, we will establish a more influential and co-ordinated approach with all relevant stakeholders. Regional Committees with representatives from across football, reflecting the makeup of the new Non- Professional Game Board, will work together in order to deliver on this plan. The role of the Regional Committees will be to assist in the delivery of the plan and provide local knowledge to ensure projects and programmes are relevant to the area. This will also create and develop a culture of shared best practice and collaborative working, vital to allow us to maximise resources and impact. 1 Aberdeen City 2 Aberdeenshire 3 Angus 4 Argyll & Bute 5 Clackmannanshire 6 Dumfries & Galloway 7 Dundee City 8 East Ayrshire 9 East Dunbartonshire 10 East Lothian 11 East Renfrewshire 12 Edinburgh, City of 13 Eilean Siar 14 Falkirk 15 Fife 16 Glasgow City 17 Highland 18 Inverclyde 19 Midlothian 20 Moray 21 North Ayrshire 22 North Lanarkshire 23 Orkney Islands 24 Perth & Kinross 25 Renfrewshire 26 Scottish Borders 27 Shetland Islands 28 South Ayrshire 29 South Lanarkshire 30 Stirling 31 West Dunbartonshire 32 West Lothian 17 20 23 2 1 3 24 7 15 4 30 31 25 11 21 8 28 6 2629 22 32 19 1012 14 5 9 16 18 32 Local Authorities within our 6 regions.

  • 9. ONE NATIONAL PLAN Page // 9 Working together our game will…… • Establish a culture of improvement where standards are continually raised across the board • Increase participation with ‘football for all’ and an emphasis on fun and enjoyment at the heart of provision • Thrive in our communities with excellent people leading and growing the playing community through a pathway which inspires participation from school to club and from childhood through to adulthood • Be modern and attractive, inspiring players and volunteers to ensure the positive values of our game are central to the way we behave in football and in life • Establish strong, vibrant, well run clubs and schools at the heart of their community • Work with government and local authorities to provide good access to more and higher quality facilities • Provide innovative and sustainable financial models to clubs with empowered and skilled leaders to take forward continued improvements to our game • Support a valued and passionate volunteer and coach workforce who shape a culture across our game of integrity, trust and respect SECTION 4: HOW SHOULD OUR GAME LOOK IN 2015? 4
  • 10. ONE NATIONAL PLAN For Non-Professional Football in Scotland 2013-2015 Page // 10 Working together we will create a game we are all proud to be a part of. With the support and direction of everyone involved in the game and uniting behind these agreed objectives we will ensure we have a game fit for the future: • INCREASED PARTICIPATION IN OUR GAME o Particular attention must be paid to attracting young people into football as well as creating better and more connected pathways to minimise drop out. Work will be done to link youth and adult football more effectively as well as to develop focused programmes for groups such as the over 35 and masters ages o Through more focussed and better connected community programmes the game will provide an increase in high quality opportunities for people to play our national game at all levels, with a focus on giving everyone who wants to play, the chance to play football regardless of age, gender, ability, ethnicity and social or demographic circumstance o An expanded provision of programmes and expertise will further promote diversity and equity and the ‘football for all’ culture in our game. Recently, the Scottish FA through Scottish Government ‘CashBack’ funding has employed staff to focus their work in the areas of Girl’s and Women’s football and staff to provide more football for black and ethnic communities. By reaching out to these groups, being more proactive and inclusive we will further grow our game o Through better connected schools and clubs we will direct more young players into the non-professional game. Schools and clubs will be encouraged and supported to work more closely on providing suitable pathways into existing clubs, leagues and affiliated associations for lifelong involvement o Developing alongside this there will be a modernised and integrated system to understand better the trends of participation in football across Scotland. • DEVELOPING CLUBS AND SCHOOLS o The Scottish FA will work more closely with affiliated national associations, clubs, schools and local leaders in the game to raise standards through the Quality Mark Accreditation Scheme and Schools Awards Scheme to further develop strong, sustainable, well run community models with increased capacities and improved provision. Regional staff with a specific responsibility for this area will provide expertise and support to clubs and schools at all levels of the non-professional game o The continued development of school to club links will be a feature of our ongoing work, with the aim of working closely with local authorities, education and Active Schools to ensure players have local opportunities to progress into the pathway SECTION 5: OUR OBJECTIVES 5

  • 12. ONE NATIONAL PLAN For Non-Professional Football in Scotland 2013-2015 Page // 12 o Clubs and schools will also benefit from National and Regional Development Forums where best practice will be shared and where ideas on developing the game can be explored and allowed to flourish. This will include a greater degree of ‘Project Based Support’ and pastoral care for clubs in particular for those working on larger scale projects. Developing a business approach to club development and recognising the potential in areas such as social enterprise will be other areas of work undertaken o The Scottish FA will provide a more modern, interactive website with a range of information to support the non-professional game. • VIBRANT VOLUNTEER WORKFORCE o People will be at the heart of the plan. Initiatives will be established to attract new volunteers into football from parents, ex-players, further and higher education students to people simply with a passion for the game. We will also look at developing relationships with business, commercial and financial institutions to recruit skilled volunteers in these critical areas o To ensure the quality of our game is strong, we will work with a range of partners to develop the skills of volunteers in football, giving ongoing guidance and support in areas of finance, facility development, governance and leadership o Volunteers will be better valued and recognised for their work through increased resources and focus to highlight their importance to our game o An increase in quality and quantity of officials go hand in hand with the increase in participation. National and regional schemes including referee SVQ programmes in conjunction with schools and further education will be delivered to enhance this area along with the creation of a new referee short course. • COACH EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT o Coaches are central to providing good quality activity and establishing a positive culture for all players to flourish in. Through improved quality of courses, improved resources and better access to coach education courses we will engage with more coaches more often. The comprehensive coach education structure will provide a range of courses suitable for volunteers just starting out in the game through to those looking to continually develop and improve their knowledge o A vibrant In-Service programme for coaches will be established and delivered across the country to ensure coaches at all levels are up to date with modern progressive techniques o Through an improved and updated website, ‘Coach World’ will provide access to the latest information on coaching, allowing best practice to be promoted and shared instantly to the whole coaching community
  • 13. ONE NATIONAL PLAN Page // 13 • MORE ATTRACTIVE MODERN GAME o Having established national and regional facility forums, the Scottish FA will publish and promote our first Facilities Strategy. The core aim of the strategy is to improve the quality, quantity, access to and availability of facilities for all of non-professional football. It will be used as a point of reference to engage more closely with Scottish Government, local authorities and private providers and will drive forward the need to work more collaboratively with all partners to develop new and improve existing facilities across Scotland o Whilst the Women’s game and children’s football have taken the step to move to a change of season, playing and training from March to November and making use of better weather conditions, there is a need to fully explore the potential benefits this would have for the whole of the non-professional game. A comprehensive study into the feasibility of this will take place considering all aspects and involving all relevant partners o Our game when delivered well can be both a joy to participate in and can have such a positive impact on the lives of those involved. To ensure this, volunteers, coaches, officials, leaders, parents and players will be asked to unite behind the ‘Positive Coaching Scotland’ programme which will integrate key messages into all aspects of the plan. This project seeks to establish the right culture of respect and improved touchline behaviour through ‘Honouring the Game’. The programme also seeks to address the ‘win at all cost’ culture and put the development of confidence and self-esteem at its core. We must all work together to deliver a game which is fun and enjoyable to play in and which, for parents, displays the benefits and merits of football beyond just health and happiness. Attention will also be given to limit drop out in particular at key stages such as at 14 years into adult football. • MORE TALENTED YOUNG PLAYERS o Contributing to ‘Perform and Win’ within the ‘Scottish United A 2020 Vision’, this plan will see the implementation of a network of Development Centres across the country. This programme will support the best young grassroots players to improve and develop, helping ambitious young players to meet the target of 10,000 hours of quality practice and development o In addition the Scottish FA will provide coaches, clubs, schools, volunteers, parents and most importantly players with a series of resources and online support. This will be aimed at stimulating progressive practice in order to help improve the technical, tactical, physical and psychological qualities of our future top young players. STRONG EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE o We will underpin the delivery of the plan through growing a strong national, regional and local infrastructure that includes good people and supportive partners. This will be governed through the Scottish FA, NPGB and regional committees. It will also involve the ongoing input from affiliated national associations and member leagues and will be delivered through the football development department, regional teams.

  • 16. ONE NATIONAL PLAN For Non-Professional Football in Scotland 2013-2015 Page // 16 THE NATIONAL PLAYER PATHWAY The National Player Pathway developed from the Scottish FA ‘Developing Talent Plan’, is an agreed long-term approach to the development of players at each age and stage of the game from childhood through to adulthood which may evolve based upon best practice from across the world as well as research into the development and retention of players. At each of the stages there are agreed principles of practice set out to ensure there is a modern and attractive game for all to participate in and with the development and welfare of the player at its centre. From the first stage of the pathway of 3 to 5 years where we encourage basic fundamental activity and discovery through play onto the adult game there are a series of progressions which allow the game to grow with the player. Crucially during the Primary School stages of 6 to 8 and 9 to 12 years, the pathway follows the small-sided game formats of 4 v 4 and 7 v 7 on a developmental and trophy free basis, focussing on effort, learning and fun rather than match results. The 4 v 4 games are based around festival formats with multiple games to maximise activity and the 7 v 7 stage can be more structured towards the provision of home and away fixtures, always following the developmental philosophy. Later at youth and adult level the 11-a-side game becomes the favoured match format, although small-sided football should remain an option which offers variety to the different levels of ability and the varying commitment people have to football. The player pathway diagram opposite shows the various stages of development in the game and the role of the various non-professional game members in its delivery.
