The research findings and consultation events present the CFA with the following challenges:
- To address the problems of touchline behaviour particularly at youth football matches fully supporting the RESPECT initiative
- To address the problem of abuse towards referees at all levels, again supporting the RESPECT initiative.
- To develop and improve facilities for Community Clubs and 11v11 game
- To increase the number of referees to have a qualified referee at every match
- To give more support for local Leagues
- To provide a safe environment for all young people
- To recognise the role of the volunteer and encourage more volunteers
- To increase the number of CS Clubs
The consultation has distilled all the challenges into four strategic goals and three key enablers we need to address over the next four years:
Goals
Growth and Retention – sustaining and increasing the number of players
Raising Standards and addressing abusive behaviour – creating a safe and positive environment
Developing Better Players – focusing on the 5-11 age group
Running the game effectively – leading and governing the game
Key Enablers
A skilled workforce – recruiting and developing a highly skilled, diverse, paid and voluntary workforce
Improved facilities – improving the access and quality of training and playing facilities
Marketing and PR – clear communications to everyone involved in the game
