NexxtGen Football Supports The Greater Game Initiative by The FA





Today marks a significant milestone in the realm of youth football as The FA launches The Greater Game campaign. This groundbreaking initiative, aimed at young people aged 12-16 and their families, seeks to instill healthier life choices through the power of football.


At NexxtGen Football, we wholeheartedly endorse The Greater Game and its mission to promote youth well-being. As a platform deeply invested in the holistic development of young footballers, we recognise the pivotal role that sport plays in shaping not only athletic skills but also life skills. The Greater Game aligns seamlessly with our core values, and we are proud to throw our support behind this transformative initiative.





Central to The Greater Game is a grassroots programme developed in collaboration with Nuffield Health, focusing on four fundamental elements: move, eat, sleep, and think. This programme equips coaches with the tools to integrate these principles into their coaching sessions, fostering healthier habits among young players. It's a proactive approach that transcends the boundaries of sport, nurturing well-rounded individuals both on and off the field.


As founder of NexxtGen Football, I am personally inspired by The Greater Game's vision and potential to create positive change. "The Greater Game represents more than just a football initiative; it's a movement toward healthier, happier futures for our youth," says Steve Halls. "By leveraging the universal appeal of football, we can instill valuable life skills and promote well-being among young players."


The Greater Game couldn't have come at a more critical juncture. In an age where sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary habits are increasingly prevalent among young people, initiatives like these are essential to combatting the health challenges of our time. Through The Greater Game, The FA aims to empower young individuals to take control of their health, one small step at a time.


At NexxtGen Football, we are committed to championing The Greater Game and supporting The FA in their mission to foster healthier, happier communities through football. Together, we can create a brighter future for the next generation of athletes and leaders.


Join us in supporting The Greater Game and together, let's make a difference in the lives of young footballers across the nation.




Embracing Neurodiversity: Celebrating Autism Awareness Month at NexxtGen Football




As April unfolds, so does a profound opportunity for reflection, understanding, and celebration – Autism Awareness Month. At NexxtGen Football, we embark on this month-long journey with a renewed commitment to inclusivity, acceptance, and empowerment for individuals on the autism spectrum.


Autism Awareness Month serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of recognising and honouring the unique experiences and contributions of individuals with autism. It's a time to elevate their voices, celebrate their achievements, and advocate for greater understanding and acceptance in our communities.


At NexxtGen Football, we believe that diversity is our strength, and neurodiversity is no exception. We celebrate the rich tapestry of talents, perspectives, and abilities that individuals with autism bring to our football family. From their innate creativity and attention to detail to their unwavering dedication and passion for the game, our neurodiverse players enrich our team in countless ways.


Throughout Autism Awareness Month, we're committed to fostering an environment where every individual feels welcomed, valued, and empowered to shine. Through specialised training programs, tailored support systems, and ongoing education for our coaching staff, we ensure that our players with autism receive the personalised attention and accommodations they need to thrive.


But our commitment to inclusivity extends beyond the confines of the football pitch. We actively engage with the broader community to raise awareness about autism and advocate for greater understanding and acceptance. Through partnerships with local organisations, participation in awareness campaigns, and community outreach initiatives, we strive to create a more inclusive society where individuals of all abilities can live, work, and play together in harmony.


As we navigate Autism Awareness Month, let us reaffirm our dedication to fostering a culture of empathy, respect, and inclusion. Let us amplify the voices of individuals with autism, celebrate their unique strengths, and advocate for a world where everyone is valued and embraced for who they are.


At NexxtGen Football, we stand united in our commitment to building a more inclusive future for all – one where neurodiversity is celebrated, and every individual has the opportunity to thrive. Join us as we embark on this journey of understanding, acceptance, and empowerment.


Best wishes,
