The FA said: "We aim to further improve the experience for young players across the country – giving them more time on the ball, more time on the pitch and increasing their physical activity levels.".
GRASSROOTS football in England is set for a major revamp after the FA announced its plan to implement sizeable changes from 2026.
The Director of Football Development, James Kendall, said: "We're excited about these new changes which follow a two-year period of consultation with the grassroots game.
The smaller set up aims to maximise engagement and provide the best introduction to football that will allow kids more touches on the ball.
A second added: "I think it's great, the kids will get more playing time and more time on the ball to work on their own ability.".
