FundLife International’s flagship, award-winning programme, the Football for Life Academy or FFLA, is an innovative experiential, play-based, life-long learning pathway designed to complement traditional education, nurture young champions, and unlock opportunities for under-served youth to achieve their full potential.
Social, Emotional, Cultural learning through play
Using football as an empowerment and main engagement tool, regularly-scheduled sessions are delivered to children from FFLA-supported schools and communities, delivering Social, Emotional, Cultural Learning (SECL) to develop core positive values such as teamwork, discipline, compassion, creativity, and resilience, essential to their development. By Champions, for Champions
FFLA players are coached and mentored by young champions who themselves also started out as the programme’s beneficiaries, and came from the same communities as players. Promoting sustainable progress, FFLA uses community-led development (CLD) to inculcate accountability and ownership through a ‘by the community for the community’ approach. Trained FFLA coaches engage with players through a culture of care, inspiring children to Dream, encouraging them to Believe and, empowering them to Achieve, their full potential. |
Find. Fail. Learn. Achieve.
Connecting the relevance of education to both football and community, FFLA encourages a simple approach to how children can work toward their goals. Find; just like football, know your goal. Fail: It’s unlikely you will score with every shot, but if you don’t shoot, you will never score. Learn; if you miss a shot, take another one – but find a better position first. Achieve; Just like in football, you can always find a level where you can score, the challenge is set the goal where you can only score when you give your very best!
By breaking down big goals into small steps, FFLA makes the impossible seem possible and provides support to ensure learning is both personalised and relevant.
