Wilk-Amite Youth Action Network to adopt USA Football's -Football Development Model (FDM)
THE FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT MODEL (FDM)
This is USA Football’s new initiative designed to make the game safer by reducing contact and teaching in a way that meets an athlete where they are in their development.
USA Football is introducing a new model for youth football. The Football Development Model is designed to help coaches teach athletes based on their age, the skill they are learning and game type. Our approach assists with the development of young athletes and allows them to learn the game and related skills in a progression that best suits them.
This path offers young athletes more opportunities to play the game and choose the type of football that they want to play.
