• Youth Policies
• Young people are encouraged to join clubs,
  helping to
• sustain the life of the club.
• Can you name some youngsters who have grown up to
  play
• for very well known clubs?
• E.g. Man Utd Scholes, Beckham, Neville
• Liverpool Gerrard Owen.
• Most of these clubs now have training academies.
• Wolfendon Gap report stated that once people
  leave
• school / college many lose interest in sport as
  it is no longer
• compulsory. There are less opportunities and so
  participation
• levels drop. Extra facilities and sports
  development officers
• will hopefully increase participation levels.
