The Future Game, The FA Technical Guide for Young Player Development, outlines a philosophy and vision for the future of youth development in English football. Central to the message are the principles of creativity and innovation, for both coaches and players and a playing philosophy based on quality passing, possession and building play through the three-thirds of the pitch. Out of possession, the philosophy calls for a tactical approach to defending in which all players contribute.

This workshop, led by FA Senior Regional Coach Development Manager, Julie Chipchase, will provide a theoretical overview of the FA Future Game philosophy and practically demonstrate a number of the guides coaching practices.
