The City of Edinburgh Children & Families Department has now been working in partnership with the Scottish Football Association for over eight years. The aims of the programme have remained mostly unchanged in this time with activities organised to encourage participation and interest in the game, not only in player participation and development but also in areas such as coaching and administration.
Activities that the programmes offers include:
Including Girls Only courses, Goalkeeping courses and All Day courses
