In 2013 Mars and The FA set an ambitious target for The Just Play Programme. To provide 1 million opportunities to Just Play by 2017. In 2015, 2 years early, this target was smashed! Along the way the programme developed to offer fun, flexible football to a wider range of participants than ever before across the country.
‘The FA Mars Just Play programme has been a great success so far this year, with participation numbers exceeding expectations. Just Play really helps to build excitement around the game, whilst encouraging more and more adults to get back into football which is extremely important. The growth of the programme and its inclusivity has made it a vital part of The FA’s activities in grassroots football.’
Kelly Simmons MBE, FA Director of Participation & Development
