What Can be Done to Improve Grassroots football?
Help with resources
Give course for anyone that wants to coach there

Positive Influence of Grassroots Football
YOU GET TO FIND YOUR LOVE FOR THE GAME IN A LESS PRESSURED ENVIRONMENT
IT GAVE ME A GOOD INTRODUCTION AT A YOUNG AGE TO ORGANISED FOOTBALL
WINNING THE LEAGUE TITLE FOR A SECOND YEAR IN A ROW BUT GOING UNBEATEN, FELT LIKE WINNING THE WORLD CUP
WHEN I SCORED 9 GOALS AND IT FELT GOOD
PLAYING GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL SOMEWHAT ALLOWS YOU TO KNOW WHAT LEVEL YOU ARE AT COMPARED TO PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, THIS CAN MOTIVATE A PLAYER TO TAKE UP THE SPORT AS A CAREER PATH
IT’S THE REASON I PLAY TO THIS DAY
IT CREATED A PATHWAY FOR ME INTO FOOTBALL AND WAS WHERE I HAD THE MOST FUN
I DON’T THINK I WOULD HAVE ENJOYED FOOTBALL AS MUCH AS I DO IF I DIDN’T PLAY IT
FUN
AS WELL AS THE HEALTH BENEFITS THAT COME WITH PLAYING FOOTBALL REGULARLY, SOCIALISING WITH TEAMMATES, COACHES, SPECTATORS, OPPONENTS ETC, BENEFIT YOUR SOCIAL LIFE AS YOU WILL MAKE FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY
Grassroots is important in development as a footballer, especially when you are young as it allows you to enjoy football without consequences
