The FA Tesco Skills Programme is a revolutionary new approach to youth coaching that has been providing high quality, affordable football skills courses for 5 to 11 year olds of all abilities since 2007. Co-ordinated by The FA and funded by Tesco and Sport England , the Skills Programme employs 106 specialist FA coaches to develop the football skills of children in England. Since 2007 we have provided more than two million places on football skills courses, and by 2014 we aim to provide another 2.7 million places.
