Creating Better Learning Environments For Player Development with Zeb Jacobs

Every Saturday morning, thousands of volunteer coaches step onto a touchline and shape how kids experience football. Most have never had formal coach education. All of them are doing one of the most important jobs in the game.

In this webinar, Zeb Jacobs — who has worked inside some of Europe's leading academies — shares what the best coaching environments have in common, and how any grassroots coach can apply the same principles on a muddy pitch at their next session.

Facilities Fundamentals: Improve, Fund and Sustain Your Club’s Future

In this webinar, Robert Crowe, Co-Founder and Head of Football Club Development at TeamFeePay, walks grassroots football clubs through everything they need to know to get a facilities development project off the ground — whether you're at the very beginning, mid-project, or simply thinking ahead.

Key topics covered include:

• How to assess your current facilities and establish a clear, achievable club vision
• The critical importance of security of tenure and securing land access before committing to a project
• Building your enabling funds "war chest" — and why £30–35K is the essential starting point
• Navigating planning applications, surveys, and community lobbying with confidence
• Raising finance through a mix of funding sources, including grants, club resources, loan finance, and fundraising campaigns
• Facility types covered: 3G pitches, grass pitches, clubhouses, floodlights, and stadiums

Throughout the session, it is clear that TeamFeePay's support is designed to complement — not replace — the vital work of governing bodies, County FAs, and the Football Foundation.

Whether your project is years away or already underway, this session gives you the knowledge and confidence to take the next step.
