School-Club Link
Developing partnerships between schools and Charter Standard clubs is a growing focus of The FA.
 The FA School–Club Link Programme is football’s commitment to the delivery of the Physical Education and School Sport Club Links (PESSCL) strategy document, which sets out to ensure that all children, whatever their circumstances or abilities, should be able to participate in and enjoy physical education and sport.

Through the delivery of The FA National Framework, the project sets out:
- to increase the number of young people playing in an FA accredited Charter Standard or Ability Counts Club.
- to develop sustainable relationships between schools and local clubs to provide a clear pathway to enable young people the chance to continue their football participation.
The project is entering its third year, with full representation across the country and all County FA’s delivering this core element of their football development programme. Many projects have included the delivery of curriculum and after-school 3 Lions FC coaching courses by FA Charter Standard clubs in their local primary and secondary schools, culminating in a festival for the School Sports Partnership.
Funding is available, via the County FA, to support the running of these coaching courses and festivals, to provide bursaries for coaching courses and club development as well as supporting liaison work for schools wishing to become FA Charter Standard. Coaching Packs and Festivals Packs are available to provide promotional material to market and support delivery, as highlighted below. Equipment Packs are also available, including Futsal and Soccability, to be utilised by schools and clubs in the school-club link programme.
For more information on how your school and club can be involved in the programme, please contact your local County FA Football Development Officer.
