If you would like to learn more about football jobs or working in the football industry, there are many things you can do . . .
To start with, all you need is a ball! You could set up your own games with some friends and if you find that you enjoy playing, you could join a football team at school or sign up to your local football club.
You can start playing football at any age and the FA have guidelines online for junior games for the under 7/8s, under 9/10s, under 11/12s, under 13/14s, under 15/16s and under 17/18s.
