Book Football Feedback from Clubs
Some of our larger clubs currently lots of recreational football activity across Male, Female & Disability pathways have fed back not being able to use the same system for all sessional activity is a barrier to using the system, despite improvements.
e.g. Clubs running a male/mixed sessional activity (primarily for u6s - pre-affiliated football) cannot use the same system as female & disability sessional activity, despite running in the same way but for different cohorts.
This is a barrier as clubs want all recreational/sessional activity to be in the same place and all affiliated football to be in the same place.
Therefore, having an 'open' programme which providers can use the Book Football system for any other sessional activity which doesn't currently fit within the FA programmes e.g. male/mixed provision, 14-16 girls provision etc. would solve this issue as they could use Book Football for all sessional activity.
There wouldn't need to be access to equipment packs, funding etc like other programmes but just the ability to use the system would likely convince clubs to use the system more as everything could be in the same place.
