A total of 66 specialist skills coaches across the country will focus on raising technical standards at the 5-11 age group, when ball skills are ingrained.
Lancashire F.A. have recently recruited six full time coaches, who have all completed a three-week intensive skills coaching course.
The skills coaches will put on sessions in schools and clubs, as well as after-school and holiday skills centres, so that youngsters can be inspired to get active and maximise their ability, whatever their level.
