3v3 Events at The FDC hailed great success

The Football Association hosted three 3v3 events at The FDC, Bowthorpe.

The Football Association, in collaboration with the Norfolk Combined Youth Football League and Norfolk County FA, successfully hosted three innovative 3v3 football events at The FDC in Bowthorpe during August and September.

These events were specifically designed for children under seven, aiming to explore and potentially integrate a new format into youth football as part of The FA's "Future of Youth Football Review." This initiative is a broader effort to transform youth football participation across the UK, focusing on enhancing the experience and development of young players.

The feedback from participants and parents has been overwhelmingly positive, and thanks must go to them for attending the events and taking part in the 3v3 matches.
