Following the recent positive endorsement of the new Youth Development Proposals, the FA’s Facilities and Investment team will shortly be issuing detailed guidance for clubs and leagues seeking advice regarding facilities.
This guidance will include recommended pitch/goalpost dimensions, line marking advice and further details regarding access to funding support for the purchase of suitable goalposts through the Football Foundation which we anticipate will open for applications as from August this year – details will be publicised on the Football Foundation’s website at that time.
Please note that the youth review proposals for 9v9 football will be optional next season, (2012/13).
