The vision of the Football Development team in Wiltshire is simply to ’Create better opportunities for all to participate in football’.
The Wiltshire FA Football Development FA Football Development Plan is focused upon ‘Start, Stay and Succeed’ and the core business of the Football Development Team focuses upon the following key outcomes: increasing participation, improving levels of performance, and widening access to football. This is achieved through three key areas of work; Club Development, Education Development and the Football Workforce.
We endeavour to ensure that all young people have the opportunity to participate in high quality football activity by developing a countywide network of Charter Standard schools with exit routes to Charter Standard clubs. We are currently working with an increasing number of partners to increase delivery capacity within the communities of Wiltshire. These partners include local authority sports development teams, Swindon Town FC, Salisbury District Council, Kennet District Council and North West District Council.
Despite this joined up thinking and partnership working, football continues to rely upon the immeasurable contribution from clubs and volunteers. If you want to get involved in football in any capacity, or require any support, we invite you to get in contact with us.
