School-Club

Developing partnerships between schools and Charter Standard clubs is a growing focus of The FA.

The FA 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.

Through the delivery of The FA National Framework, the project sets out:

  • to increase the number of young people playing in an FA accredited Charter Standard or Ability Counts Club.
  • to develop sustainable relationships between schools and local clubs to provide a clear pathway to enable young people the chance to continue their football participation.
