What are your Post Covid Plans - specifically for Grassroots Football?
Please see here the Report on Post Covid Grassroots Football & Youth Soccer Download Final Post covid grassroots football and youth soccer report
and here the paper on Relative Age Effect ‘ and Post Covid Participation. Download FINAL The Relative Age Effect and Post-Covid Grassroots Football Participation (1)
During June & July I had become concerned about the return of Grassroots Football when and if the effects of the pandemic began to decrease
I therefore devised an online survey and sent it to colleagues I know who work in Grassroots Football in North America, Europe and Asia
The survey was centred on what trends they thought would be prevalent in a Post Covid World for Grassroots Football.
Please find enclosed above the Final Report of the Survey together with an accompanying paper I have drafted on the issue of ‘ Relative Age Effect ‘ and Post Covid Participation.
I do think therefore that there is a legitimate value in examining the trends which people like you - with considerable experience in this area - forecast for Grassroots Football in a Post Covid world
Inevitably a major event such as a pandemic will change the landscape of Pre - Covid Grassroots Football which I have tried to categorise here.
This may change and opportunities will nevertheless present themselves. With regard to the Post Covid Plan , I would be very interested to hear about in innovative ways that you have found to restart and recover Grassroots football for your Association and how this landscape will be affected
Please post them in the comments section of this article below
