Leading the Game: Using Sports Leadership to Enhance Football Foundation Delivery

03/03/2026

Date: Tuesday, 3 March 2026 | Time: 15:30 – 16:00 (BST)

This online event will explore how sports leadership qualifications can enhance delivery across such programmes as Premier League Primary Stars, EFL Trust–style community programmes, and academy and foundation education provision.

Using proven football-foundation delivery models, you will hear from existing foundations about how they have used leadership qualifications support young people to lead, mentor and deliver activity, while helping foundations strengthen education outcomes, employability pathways and sustainable programme delivery aligned to league and funder priorities.

  • Enhance education, aspirations and employability – Discover how sports leadership qualifications help young people build skills for life, boost confidence and open progression routes into coaching, volunteering, employment or further study — supporting the core education & employability aims of EFL community work.
