Player Voice

Raise standards, policies and practices across the football profession by enabling players’ voice to be heard and players’ views to be taken into consideration in key decisions about their sporting development. Facilitate player understanding of the value of voluntary service, community and charity participation, through meaningful and positive experiences, working with football clubs, schools, charities and community organisations. Develop programmes and activities in a ‘player-led’ way which builds the skills and leadership qualities of players, develops opportunities for mentoring and enhances access to education and training to offer opportunities for an alternative career pathway for players in the event that they don’t make it as professional footballers. Create volunteering and employment opportunities, to help build career opportunities for 18 to 25 year olds who aspire to work in the sports industry.
