EP3 | Growing your grassroots football family

In this episode we talk all about the grassroots football family. The volunteers who make our game special week in, week out. We discuss how to reward and recognise these awesome individuals and groups of people. We reflect on international women’s day and our first virtual The FA and McDonald’s Grassroots Awards 2020. Our 2020 Bobby Moore Award winner gets a surprise from the gaffer, Gareth Southgate! We speak to Sarah Nickless, who has tips to get more young people involved in your club and league. If that wasn't enough we also have former England international and McDonalds fun football ambassador Martin Keown, talking about the importance of volunteers in grassroots football.
