Football Foundation 10 Year Anniversary WebTV Show and launch of PitchFinder
By
England may have missed out on the World Cup but don’t let this leave you feeling despondent. On a positive note both you and your family can use the rest of the summer to play the beautiful game rather than watching it on the TV. And there are many local teams and facilities you can join and use to get a taste of what true grassroots football is all about.
Signing up not only expands your social circle but it will have positive impacts on your health as well.
Aside from increased stamina, it can help you lose weight and tone up and if your children join a team of their own there will be plenty to keep them occupied over the summer holidays.
But if you have not played since school and wouldn’t know where to start, then help is at hand.
In order to get you started, The Football Foundation has launched PitchFinder, the largest database of football facilities in Britain. It allows you to find local pitches and provides information on the type of facilities that you can expect to find there. It also allows you to get route planning information, street maps and aerial views of these sites.
With over £900m worth of funding in over 7,800 grassroots projects over the last ten years by the Football Foundation and its funding partners, getting out there locally is easily achievable.
If all of this leaves you hungry for football glory then log onto this live webTV show where the Chief Executive of the Football Foundation Paul Thorogood will be offering his advice on how you can get your foot on the ball.
Paul Thorogood joins us live online at www.studiotalk.tv on Thursday 8th July at 14:00 to discuss how you can become a bigger part of football
