England Futsal is a proud Play Their Way Community Builder
We are one of seven sporting organisations selected by Play Their Way to become a Community Builder, helping to raise awareness of and support a child-first coaching movement.

VOICE. CHOICE. JOURNEY.
DID YOU KNOW?
According to Sport England’s Active Lives Survey (2021-22) only 47% of children who exercise regularly strongly agree that they enjoy taking part in sport and physical activity.
What is the Play Their Way Community Builder programme?
The campaign is led by the Children’s Coaching Collaborative, delivered by UK Coaching and funded by Sport England, with the aim of empowering coaches across the country to adopt a child-first approach to coaching.
The movement is built upon three key principles, underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child:
VOICE - The right to be heard.
CHOICE - The right to play.
JOURNEY - The right to develop.
Now, England Futsal is a part of this journey.
The Play Their Way Community Builder programme brings together organisations and regional hubs to help make child-first coaching part of everyday practice.
That’s 2,500 coaches and 50,000 children and young people benefitting from Play Their Way.

This resource is designed to help Child-first Guides support the coaches around them adopt a child-first approach.
Play Their Way’s child-first coaching resources help to ensure children and young people have the space to share their thoughts and be heard on the sporting experiences that they really want. How might you incorporate child-first coaching into your futsal sessions or activities?
