What help is there going to be with the changes?
A range of support is being developed to support the implementation of the changes and full detail on this will be shared with a year to go in September 2025.
This will include education on the specific changes being introduced, how to implement them and the benefits that they will bring. Resources and communications will be developed for all stakeholders impacted by the changes, including County FA staff, players, coaches, parents, match officials, club and league officials and facility operators.
Where any pitch and equipment requirements are impacted by the changes, we will work proactively with key partners to provide as much support as possible to ensure a smooth transition as changes are adopted.
