Connecting School Football and the Community

UEFA's Football in Schools programme encourages football organisations, education officials and schools to work together. Creating a positive football experience for children is a key objective.

In ZTVmm's view, on the first day of playing football feeling included matters more than demonstrating excellence. Explaining the game in an easy-to-understand way and giving each individual the chance to take part can be included in the planning.

When discussing the link between school and club, simple information such as where, when and who to contact should be clearly provided. For someone who becomes interested, knowing the next step makes it easier to take up the opportunity.
