OUR 4 PILLARS

1 ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION AT ALL LEVELS

Football can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. Encouraging participation at all levels, from recreational to competitive, can help create a culture of health and wellness that is inclusive and accessible to everyone.

2 MAKE IT SOCIAL

Foster a sense of community: Football is a team sport that requires players to work together, communicate, and support one another. This can help foster strong social connections and a sense of community, which can be important for mental health and overall well-being.

3 MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE

Provide resources and support to players and parents: Providing resources and support, such as coaching, equipment, and facilities, can help make it easier for people to participate in football and help them feel more confident and motivated in everyday life. It can also alleviate the financial burden of parents.

4 MAKE IT FUN

Above all, it’s important to make physical activity and play enjoyable. Incorporating fun and playful elements into activities can help make them more appealing and increase the likelihood that people will want to participate.
