FutureFit - updates to youth grassroots football
From the start of the 2026-27 season, the FA will be launching a new progressive framework for grassroots youth football in England, which aims to further improve the experience for young players across the country – giving them more time on the ball, more time on the pitch and increasing their physical activity levels.
A new Future Fit: Digital Content Hub has been launched to help the grassroots football community understand these changes in advance of implementation from the 2026-27 season,
FA Technical Director of Football Development, James Kendall, said: "We're excited about these new changes which follow a two-year period of consultation with the grassroots game. Our approach is about evolution, not revolution, helping to increase the levels of engagement, physical activity, skill development and the volume of technical actions for every player.
"Together with the County FA network, we are fully committed to working closely with all those involved in delivering grassroots youth football, providing the support needed to implement these changes across the country.”
To help our grassroot football community understand these changes the FA are hosting a series of face-2-face County FA Roadshow events in each region with our Roadshow taking place on Friday 28th March 2025.
These events will provide attendees with further detail on the changes, why they are being implemented and the next steps in the process.
