YOUTH DEVELOMENT REVIEW

Quote from the FA 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 environment for young people that puts their needs at the centre of the process. Source: TheFA.com
