Vision Asia - Vision Thailand - Chonburi Project

Webmaster's Notes [22 Feb @ 12:00am]

Vision Thailand commenced with the assessment visit to FAT by AFC Vision Asia Team in October 2007. During the assessment visit, it was agreed to select the Chonburi Province for the first provincial project in Vision Thailand. A report of the visit was produced by Brendan Menton in April 2008.Over the next few weeks I will be posting the Chonburi Strtegic Developmant Plan Draft Document in its entirity. The report runs to 62 pages and covers all aspects of football in the province. I have made one or two editorial decisions and removed any references to specific financial figures, individuals and certain local companies. There is nothing sinister in this but I feel that some aspects of the report should remain private. The Webmaster February 22nd, 2010

Introduction [17 Feb @ 12:00am]

Vision Thailand commenced with the assessment visit to FAT by AFC Vision Asia Team in October 2007. During the assessment visit, it was agreed to select the Chonburi Province for the first provincial project in Vision Thailand. Vision Thailand Project Chonburi focuses initially on five areas of football development, namely: 1. Football Association 2. Clubs and Competitions 3. Grassroots and Youth 4. Coach Education 5. Referee Education These elements are identified as the core elements of the Vision Thailand Project Chonburi. Other elements of Vision Asia such as marketing, media, and women’s football will be included as appropriate as the project progresses. The Vision Asia team visited Chonburi in February 2008 to assess the current status of football. The assessment included detailed discussions on specific areas and additional documentation provided by officials in Chonburi. Each Section of the Report provides an assessment of the current status for each of the five elements. The Assessment Chart used for assessing the various components of each element categorizes the level of football into the following four tiers: 3= Advanced 2= Intermediate 1= Basic 0= Non-existent AFC House April 2008 Author : Brendan Menton

Section One - Football Association [17 Feb @ 12:00am]

Assessment The assessment of the Football Association is based on AFC Vision Asia’s six criteria for a comprehensive assessment of football administration which are: 1. Statutes and Membership 2. Structure and Administration 3. Finance 4. Facilities 5. Relationships with Government Authorities 6. Development and Change 1. STATUTES & MEMBERSHIP There is currently no football association in Chonburi. The Chonburi Sports Association, which is under Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT), is the main body for football, although there are also the Sports & Recreation Department Office, which is for youth sports, and Chonburi Football Club who are a member of FAT and Thailand Premier League Champions in 2007. National Level > Local Level 1. Ministry of Tourism & Sport 2. Sports Authority of Thailand > Chonburi Sports Association > Chonburi FC 3. Sports and Recreation Department > Sports and Recreation Department (Chonburi) 4. Football Association of Thailand > Chonburi FC Organization Remarks Sports Association - Their main responsibilities in football are to oversee the development of Sports. Facilities and to provide Financial support. Sports & Recreation Department Office - Their main responsibility is Youth Sports. The receive financial support from the Sports Association Chonburi Football Club - Thailand Premier League Club which is a member of FAT. Big presence in Chonburi. It is managed by the Sports Association. 2. STRUCTURE & ADMINISTRATION Human resources in the Sports Association, which is not only for football but for all sports, is limited – only a few officials for all the sports. There is not a specific section for football. 3. FINANCE The Sports Association subsidizes both the Sports & Recreation Department Office and the Chonburi Football Club. 4. FACILITIES Football Facilities are a positive element of football in Chonburi. Many football facilities (both stadiums and training facilities) are available (see below for visited facilities). Some are owned by the Local Authority and some are owned by other organizations such as private companies and the Physical Education College. FacilityRemarks Provincial Field Sports Complex – Grass field, Track, Swimming pool…etc. Chonburi Municipal Stadium - Stadium for Thailand Premier League (Chonburi F.C. & Bang-Phra F.C.). Seating Capacity is 6,000. PE College - Good condition. Used for various youth tournaments. Also used for training session of Chonburi F.C. JMG Academy - Sports Academy of Ivory Coast: 40 players (around 16 years old). Linked with Arsenal Thai Oil Club Facility owned by Oil Company - One of the best facilities. Used for the various youth tournaments Assumption School - Secondary School. Powerhouse of Chonburi Football in terms of youth development. Also one of the best facilities. Used for the various matches including Division 1 Club matches (SriRacha FC) There is a plan to build a new stadium which may be used for Chonburi F.C. matches and would have a bigger capacity. Also Chonburi Football Association (when it is established) will be able to use a part of a building in PE College, which is under construction. 5. RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOVT. AUTHORITIES In general, local government is very supportive to football development in Chonburi, in terms of both finance and facilities. 6. DEVELOPMENT & CHANGE There is a strong football culture in Chonburi and are many football development activities organized by various organizations, such as • Sports Association • Chonburi F.C. • Sports & Recreation Department Office • PE College • Sports School • Sports Academy • Assumption School • Commercial Company (organize youth tournament) All the activities are contributing for football development in Chonburi. ASSESSMENT SUMMARY Assessment Scale reflects the absence of a football association in Chonburi. It assesses the overall status under the other elements. 1. Statutes and Membership = 0 2. Structure & Administration = 0.5 3. Finance = 1 4. Facilities = 1.5 5. Relationships = 2 6. Development & Change = 1.5 Key 0 = Non-existent 1 = Basic 2 = Intermediate 3 = Advanced Author : Brendan Menton

Goal 1.1 - Establishment Of The Chonburi Football Associaton [23 Feb @ 12:00am]

Why this Goal is a Priority Currently there are many organizations which undertake football and football development activities in Chonburi. Although each organization is dedicating resources will for the development, coordination is required to maximize the outcome. Typical example is the competition calendar. There should be integrated provincial league rather than having many small commercial tournaments which are ‘organized’ by various sponsors so that players can play more matches regularly. It is critical to establish the Chonburi Football Association to lead football development in Chonburi. Chonburi Football Association will be the supreme organization which decides the direction of football development in Chonburi. It will coordinate all the activities in the province. There must be professionalized staff dedicated only for football development. That is the difference between a football association and a sports association which is for all the sports. This will bring more effectiveness to the football development in Chonburi. CURRENT Sports Association Sports and Recreation District Association Schools and Colleges Club Other Stakeholders PROPOSED CHONBURI FA > Sports Association > District Association > Club CHONBURI FA > Sports and Recreation > Schools and Colleges > Other Stakeholders Proper statutes that conform to FIFA standards are required for the establishment of the Chonburi Football Association. Statutes of any Association provide the foundation and legal base for its operations. The statutes specify the objectives, the membership basis of the Association, and functions of an Association. AFC Vision Asia will provide draft statutes for the Chonburi Football Association. These will be based on the standards set out by FIFA. AFC recognises that these statutes must also be in accord with Thai legal and regulatory requirements. This will be the responsibility of FAT and the Chonburi authorities. SUMMARY GOAL 1.1 Task 1: What: Preparation of Statutes for Chonburi Football Association (Draft statutes will be provided by AFC) When: By June 2008 Who: Chonburi Sports Association Task 2: What: Establishment of the Chonburi Football Association (Registration) When: By August 2008 Who: Chonburi Sports Association Task 3: What: To Convene the first Congress (Election of President and members of Executive Committee) When: By September 2008 Who: Chonburi Football Association Author : Brendan Menton You can read more about Vision Asia and Vision Thailand here : www.the-afc.com

Goal 1.2 - To Develop The Organization Structure With Competent Officials In Chonburi Football Association [25 Feb @ 12:00am]

Why This Goal is a Priority In the Football Association, there must be • A proper organization structure that focuses resources on key football activities such as competitions, development programmes, coach education and refereeing • An appropriate number of staff that have the required expertise in different areas of football administration. A proper organization structure shall consist of Congress, Committees (Executive and Standing) and the Secretariat. Proper structure for Congress and Committees, which must be clearly defined by statutes, is critical to ensure democratic decision making. Secretariat (departments) need to have proper organization structure and competent staffs to implement the decisions of the committees effectively. The following is the proposed organization structure for Chonburi Football Association, which conforms to FIFA Standard Statutes. Proposed Organization Structure Overview Congress V Executive Committee > Standing Committees > Disciplinary Committee > Appeals Committee V President V General Secretary V Various Departments The organisational structure for a football association stipulated by the FIFA Standard Statutes consists of the Congress as the supreme decision-making body with clearly defined membership. The Congress elects the President and the Executive Committee. The Congress delegates the Executive Committee the decision-making powers of the Association. The President heads the Association and chairs the Congress and the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee appoints Standing Committees in the key areas of football activity, whose primary role is to develop policies in their respective areas and make recommendations to the Executive Committee for decision. The Standing Committees develop policies based on the reports and input from the relevant departments of the association. For example, the Competitions Committee may decide on regulations governing rules for the organisation of a particular competition and the Competitions Department will implement these after they are approved by the Executive Committee. Disciplinary and Appeals Committees are the judicial bodies of Chonburi Football Association, which must be independent. The decisions of these bodies are binding and cannot be altered by any other bodies. The General Secretary (full-time), appointed by the Executive Committee for a fixed term, is the Chief Executive Officer of the Association. The General Secretary oversees the implementation of all Executive Committee decisions by his staff. All heads of departments and sections of an association report to him. The President in his role as Chairman of the Executive Committee supervises the implementation of Executive Committee’s decisions by the General Secretary and his staff. It is recommended that the Chonburi Football Club be managed separately from the Football Association. The Club should have its own separate legal entity, structure, and management staff. The objectives and requirements of a professional football club are very different from that if a Football Association focussed on amateur and youth football and its development. Also the separate entity for the club brings it into line with the AFC definition of a professional club and the criteria for entry into the Asian Champions League. Committee EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE > Appeals Committee > Disciplinary Committee V Vision Committe (Grassroots & Youth, Coach, Referee) V Competition Committee V Finance & Marketing Committee The Standing Committees must report to the Executive Committee on their activities and proposals for their specific areas. The decisions of all Standing Committees will be implemented after their approval by the Executive Committee. The Departments will implement the decisions of the Executive Committee and will inform the Standing Committees on the progress of their work on a regular basis. The department staff will attend the committee meetings as ex-officio non-voting members and will present their reports and proposals to their respective committee for decisions. The Standing Committees should meet three to four times a year. The Executive Committee can amend the number of Standing Committees as it deems. The terms of references of the committees will be clearly defined in the Statutes. Proposed Standing Committees include the followings Vision Committee (Development committee) Grassroots and Youth Sub-Committee Coach Education Sub-Committee Referees Development Sub-Committee Competition Committee Finance & Marketing Committee Media Committee Vision Committee (Development Committee) This Development Committee will have overall responsibility for approving policies and proposals for football development in Chonburi. All proposals and policies for development of all essential elements of football are the prerogative of this committee. These include grassroots and youth football, coach education and referee development, which will be sub-committees of the Vision Committee. The responsibility of all grassroots and youth competitions’ policies will be the responsibility of the Competitions Committee. Competition Committee All policies regarding all competitions organised by Chonburi FA will be dealt with by this committee. All competition regulations will also be decided by this Committee. Finance & Marketing Committee All matters pertaining to Marketing rights and their sale and finances will be approved and decided by this Committee. Terms of References for the above committees will be provided by AFC Vision Asia Team. Department The General Secretary will oversee the following : Vision Department (Development department) Grassroots and Youth Section Coach Education Section Referees Development Section Competitions Department Administration Department Finance Section General Affairs Section All departments will have a director, who will report to the General Secretary, and should have adequate staff working under him. These staffs must have the required professional skills and expertise. Their duties are outlined briefly below: Vision Department (Football Development) This Department will carry out all development activities with following sections; Grassroots and Youth Section This section will manage all development activities for the Grassroots & Youth area. This includes proposing developing strategies, liaison with the Sport & Recreation Department and support for all schools competitions and festivals. Coach Education Section This section will organise, conduct and manage all coaching courses. It will assist in developing coach instructors. It will also have responsibility for managing the technical aspects of football e.g. Match analysis. Referees Development Section This Department will manage referees development, including recruitment and training. Competitions Department: The main responsibility of this department as follows Competitions rules and regulations Player Registration and transfers Fixture schedules Event management Club development Administration Department: This Department will have the following sections. Finance General Affairs Roles & Responsibility for staffs in the above departments will be provided by AFC Vision Asia Team. Training and Educational Programmes for Chonburi FA Staff In the management of any organisation, the competent staffs are critical for its productivity and efficiency. After setting up the structure, efforts should be made to enhance the capabilities and competence of its staff. AFC Vision Asia proposes to conduct the competition management workshop for the officials in Competition Committee and Department. The relevant club Officials shall also attend the workshop. The purpose of these training programmes is to ensure that all staff have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities and have the necessary skills to carryout their duties to a high level. SUMMARY GOAL 1.2 Task 1: What: Finalize the organizational structure for Chonburi Football Association When: By June 2008 Who: Chonburi Sports Association Task 2: What: Hold the inaugural Congress to establish the Chonburi Football Association When: By July 2008 Who: Chonburi Sports Association Task 3: What: Appointment of full-time General Secretary, Directors, and staffs When: After the first Congress Who: Chonburi Football Association Task 4: What: To conduct a Competition Management Workshop When: 2008/2009 (To be confirmed) Who: AFC Author : Brendan Menton You can read more about the Vision Asia project at : www.the-afc.com

Section Two - Clubs & Competitions [26 Feb @ 12:00am]

Assessment COMPETITIONS 1. Administration In Chonburi, there are so many tournaments organized by various entities, including Sports Association, Sports & Recreation Department and commercial companies. Sports & Recreation Department is responsibility for youth/schools competitions. In the competitions organized by commercial company, they are the authority to decide the format, participants. There is a Chonburi League which is the only proper League competition for senior level. However this competition is basically for mass participation. Summary Assessment Due to the existence of various organizers, including commercial companies, competitions in Chonburi lack the coordination of a proper competition calendar which would provide a structured opportunity to all players to play football. 1. Administration = 1 2. Format & Participants = 0 3. Facilities = 0 4. Finance = 0 Key 3= Advanced 2= Intermediate 1= Basic 0= Non-existent 2. Format & Participants Many of the competitions which organized by various entities in Chonburi are in tournament format, which is short duration, at both senior and youth levels. There are 14 amateur clubs in Chonburi playing in Amateur A (Division 3: Round robin + Knock-out), Amateur B (Division 4: Tournament), and Amateur C (Division 5: Tournament). Due to the short duration of these competitions, these clubs also play various tournaments organized by commercial companies. In some commercial tournaments, clubs from outside Chonburi are also invited to play. The Chonburi League is 1 Round League which lasts 2 to 3 months staring in October. Eleven (11) district representative teams play in this competition. Best players in each district are not selected because this competition is mainly for mass participation. Summary Assessment There are many tournaments in Chonburi; however all are knock-out tournaments which do not give regular and continuous opportunity to play. 1. Administration = 1 2. Format & Participants = 0.5 3. Facilities = 0 4. Finance = 0 Key 3= Advanced 2= Intermediate 1= Basic 0= Non-existent 3.Facilities As above mentioned, football facility is the positive part of Football in Chonburi. Many facilities in Chonburi are available for the competition organizers. Two Thailand Premier League Clubs - Chonburi F.C. and Bang-phra F.C. – have access to Chonburi Municipal Stadium for their league matches. Chonburi F.C. uses the PE College for training and Bang-phra F.C. also have an access to a training field. The above home stadium of Chonburi F.C. is not enough for Asian Champions League standard. They need to play ACL matches in Bangkok. Summary Assessment There is no critical issue on the facility at least for the domestic level competition except pitch condition in some facilities. 1. Administration = 1 2. Format & Participants = 0.5 3. Facilities = 2 4. Finance = 0 Key 3= Advanced 2= Intermediate 1= Basic 0= Non-existent 4. Finance Organizer (Sports Association, Sports & Recreation Department, Commercial Companies) allocate proper budget for each competitions. Prize money in the tournaments organized by commercial companies attracts players & Clubs from inside and even outside Chonburi. There are companies, which are interested in sponsoring football. Annual gate receipt of Chonburi F.C. is xxxxx although they have reasonable fan base (2000 members in Fan Club). The Club has a plan to generate more revenue from gate receipt - the Fans are ready to pay. Summary Assessment Because of the strong football culture in Chonburi, there is more commercial potential, although it has not been maximized. COMPETITIONS SUMMARY ASSESSMENT 1. Administration = 1 2.

Other Football Club/Teams Other Football Clubs/Teams in Chonburi as follows Division..............................Club/Team Thailand Premier League... Bang-phra F.C. Division 1........................... SriRacha Division 3, 4, 5................... 14 Teams There are 14 amateur teams in Division 3/4/5. They play in these competitions and also in tournaments organized by commercial companies. Due to the short duration of all these competitions, the number of match is not sufficient and players do not have the opportunity to play regularly. Author : Brendan Menton AFC website : www.the-afc.com

Goal 2.1 - To Introduce An Elite Provincial League [28 Feb @ 12:00am]

Why this Goal is a priority Currently many amateur clubs and players in Chonburi play Division 3/4/5, which are managed by FAT and also in various tournaments sponsored by commercial companies. Due to the short duration of these competitions, they cannot have the opportunity to play regularly and to play a sufficient number of matches. Although there is the provincial league (Chonburi League), this competition is basically for mass participation. It is district selected teams s and not for clubs. AFC Vision Asia strongly recommends the launch of a new Chonburi Provincial League for the 14 existing amateur clubs. This would be a double-round league. This is a better structure rather than the various tournaments that exist currently. It will provide the players with the regular opportunity to play for at least a few months. This is a critical recommendation and is fundamental for the football development in Chonburi. It will also provide the basis to develop the amateur clubs in Chonburi. AFC believe that this provincial league should be a part of the national competition structure managed by FAT. AFC would like to propose that the winner of Chonburi Provincial League can participate in the play off match for the promotion to Division 2. The Chonburi provincial league can become the model for similar leagues in the other provinces of Thailand. Proposed Competition –Chonburi Provincial League- Format Double Round League (Home and Away) Clubs Only clubs who meet the Club Licensing criteria set by Chonburi FA can participate. The existing amateur clubs would form the base of participation. Integration of existing ‘clubs’ from Division 3/4/5. Currently these are more like teams than structured clubs. This competition can also be used to develop clubs (See the goal below) Ideally there should be at least 1 club from each district (11 Districts) Management The Competition Committee is the decision making body although approval by Executive Committee is required for implementation. All the key decision, including approval of Competition Regulation, Club Licensing, and participating club will be by the Competitions Committee. The Competitions Department works on the implementation, including registration of players, fixtures, event management and club development. Disciplinary and Appeals Committee will work on judicial matters. Actions for the league launch To launch the new league, following actions are required to be taken : To set up Organization Structure for the league (Competition/Disciplinary/Appeals Committee and Competition Department) with sufficient number of members/officials To finalize the Competition Regulations, Club Licensing criteria and League format (Approval by Competitions Committee) To decide the participating clubs and home venues (Approval by Competitions Committee) League Administration (i.e. player registration, fixtures, match organization) Coach Development, Referee Development For the launch of the competition, AFC will provide support on the following : Draft League Regulations and Club Licensing criteria AFC will provide the draft league Regulation and Club Licensing criteria which ensure a high standard for the Chonburi Provincial League. Draft Management Structure AFC will provide the standard terms of reference for the Competition Committee and job descriptions for Competitions Department staff. Workshop/Course Administration: Club Development and Competition Management Workshop AFC will organize the Club Development workshop, together with the Competition Management Workshop which is mentioned above. The Club Development Workshop is to provide the best practice in each key area of club management for the clubs in the league. Coach: AFC ‘C’ Certificate Coaching Course AFC will organize the AFC ‘C’ Certificate Coaching Course for the coaches of the clubs in the league to ensure that they have proper qualifications. AFC will cover the cost of the Instructor. Referee: Preparatory Referee Course AFC will assist to organize the Preparatory Referee Course for the league referees to ensure a high standard for the league. AFC will cover cost of the Instructor.

Goal 2.2 - To Develop The Clubs For The Provincial League [1 Mar @ 12:00am]

Why this Goal is a priority Good competition requires good players as the main component and they need good clubs for the development of themselves (i.e. Training facilities, Coaches). Equally, good clubs require competitions to be the focal point of their activities and good players who are critical. One without the other is not meaningful. Although currently there are 14 clubs in Chonburi playing Division 3/4/5, many are more like ‘teams’. They have no structure as clubs and do not meet the Vision Asia definition of a club. Clubs should have (especially in terms of difference between club and team) Legal Status Proper structure and administration Multi teams (Senior team and Youth teams) Access to facilities (Matches & Training) Financial Stability Club Identity It will be part of the regulations of the Chonburi Provincial League that the participating clubs must meet minimum criteria. Only these clubs will be also to participate so that the league can achieve set standards. Based on the existing ‘teams’, clubs need to be developed for the league. After the selection of the participating clubs for the league, AFC will conduct the Club Development Workshop together with the Competition Management Workshop which is mentioned in the above. The Club Development Workshop is to provide the best practice in each key area of club management with clubs in the league.

Section Three - Grassroots And Youth [2 Mar @ 11:40am]

DEVELOPMENT Assessment 1. ASSOCIATION Currently there is no football association established in Chonburi. The Sports Authority of Thailand, Chonburi Sports Association and The Sports and Recreation Department’s cater and assist all youth sporting activities with facilities and financial support within the region. 1. Football Popularity Chonburi, has a long history of football being played in the region, with reasonable participation of all age groups through to senior players. Although there are all age groups participating within a number of different competitions, there are no organised structured player development programmes and pathways into senior club teams. 2. Administration There is not a department or a specific section for football within the Sports Association. Human resources are very limited and mainly rely on volunteers to assist in most areas. 3. Youth Teams There are a number of organizations contributing to Chonburi youth football and player development. Unfortunately, these organizations have no plan of player pathways to assist the link between youth and senior football. Chonburi Football Club have youth squads, but with no competitions for these squads. Once these youth players reach U18 then there are small percentages that will be selected for the senior team, majority of the players leave the sport. All youth competitions are played within the schools. There is no current club with any particular age group youth team program in place within the region/province of Chonburi. 4. Competition The Ministry of Tourism and Sport, Sport Authority of Thailand and the Sports and Recreation Department organize The Prime Minister Cup, which is the major competition for senior schools. There are no club youth team competitions There are a number of competitions, The Prime Minister Cup for U12, U14, U16, U18, Coca-Cola Cup U17, Nike Cup U15 and U15 National Championship. Also there are private companies who organize mini tournaments, with prize money, throughout the yearly calendar. The potential within all these competitions can only assist with the future development in a number of areas of the game. It would be beneficial to calendar out these events, so there is no overlapping. Due to the lack of information, in relation to the format, period of competition, minimum and maximum amount of games played within each particular age group competition, it is very difficult to make a statement. It is also to be noted, that due to the lack of finances, particular teams could not travel from Chonburi to the competition finals in Bangkok, after qualifying from the regional/province stage. Currently there are no district competitions for junior schools U11 age group. This is also the case for the U13 age group. These competitions mentioned above do not facilitate maximum participation of all age group players and teams. Unfortunately, due to the lack of information surrounding these competitions. I am not convinced that the competitions provide the opportunity for all players to exhibit their full potential and further their personal development within the game. 5. Coaches There are a number of coaches that are coaching within school team environments that have the AFC ‘C’ Coaching Certificate. These coaches are very enthusiastic in assisting within the game and also want to gather further knowledge within their own professional development. 6. Education & Development FAT doesn’t organize AFC Introductory Coaching Courses in the Chonburi region/province. There are no coaching workshops or seminars currently being implemented for specific age groups within schools and clubs. Although Chonburi Football Club has youth team squads, there is not a talent identification program for players and coaches within the region/province. There are some relationships between senior schools and the Chonburi Football Club. This is a positive starting point, but still needs further development, into understanding one another needs. 7. Facilities & Equipment The facilities within schools are of a reasonable standard, but some of the schools playing areas are not of a good standard. These grounds are being shared with a number of other schools within a particular district and are being used every day. Within the sport school the use of a swimming pool, gym, weights room and the availability of sport science is very good facility. The playing area is of a good standard, but training areas were poor. CLUBS ASSESSMENT 1. Football Popularity There are a number of club teams within the region/province of Chonburi, plus two clubs that participate in the FAT Premier League. All youth games are played within the schools; there are no competitions for youth teams within clubs. Due to the lack of relationships between schools and clubs at the important age of U18, when players are leaving school, some players stop playing football and are lost to the game. Numbers drop off at this particular age group. 2. Administration Chonburi FC youth team coaches manage youth teams programs. There are no regulations for Clubs to have youth teams. 3. Youth Teams All youth team programs and competitions are implemented and carried out by the schools. 4. Competition This is mentioned in the Competitions, under the Association. 5. Coaches Chonburi Football Club youth coaches have sufficient coaching qualifications, they have either obtained the AFC ‘C’ and B Certificates. 6. Education & Development Clubs do not have their own youth development activities as these are carried out by the schools. 7. Facilities & Equipment This is mentioned under Associations section. SCHOOLS ASSESSMENT Football Popularity = 2.5 Administration & Personnel = 1 Coaches = 2 Youth Teams = 1 Competition = 1.5 Education & Development = 1.5 Facilities & Equipment = 1 Key 3= Advanced 2= Intermediate 1= Basic 0= Non-existent 1. Football Popularity Football is the biggest participation sport in Chonburi, especially within senior schools. Although the junior schools have some football activities, it is not seen as the main sport played, as it is important for all pupils to receive a variety of different sports. 2. Administration The Sports Authority of Thailand, Chonburi Sports Association and the Sport and Recreation departments assist with all local school football activities and competitions, through financial support. There is currently no working relationship between the parties of above and the Football Association of Thailand within school football. 3. Youth Teams Refer to Competitions under Association section 4. Competitions There are a number of competitions within school youth football, they are for U12, U14, U15, U16, U17 and U18 but very little in relation to U10, U11 and U13 age groups. These age groups are critical for the ongoing player development pathway. The format, minimum and maximum games played within each league structure and competition is very unclear. Further discussions and documentations need to be seen by AFC in relation to all school and private organization competitions. These competitions are played during weekdays and at weekends The competitions are just organized for boys. 5. Coaches There are sufficient senior school teachers involved with teams, but there is a need for further development of specific age group coaching to support player development in all areas. Due to a lack of information supplied, we are unable to comment on the knowledge of teachers conducting the physical education curricular lessons at junior schools. Qualifications of teachers handling school youth football teams is inadequate. There is a need to gather the knowledge and understand the needs of specific age group players. AFC coach education system will increase the ability of every individual teacher involved with coaching football at junior and senior schools. 6. Education & Development No information around activities within junior schools was supplied. It will a requirement to supply information of activities of football carried out in PE lessons. There are a variety of football activities, with majority of senior schools training twice a week with a weekly game. There are some senior school games also played after school times. 7. Facilities & Equipment Junior schools facilities are of a poor standard. All schools have a field for functions, but majority of these fields are only adequate for training sessions only. Equipment is ok within senior schools and the sport school. Within junior schools, facilities and equipment are of a poor standard. Strategic Development Plan 3.1 Administration 1. Establish a Vision Chonburi standing committee and a sub-committee for Grassroots and Youth Development comprising all stakeholders within the proposed Chonburi Football Association. 2.

Goal 3.1 - Establish A Vision Chonburi Standing Committee And A Sub Committee For Grassroots And Youth Development. [3 Mar @ 12:00am]

Why this Goal is a Priority It is important to establish a Sub Committee for Grassroots and Youth Department to undertake the key responsibilities in all areas of Grassroots and Youth development. The members of the Standing Committee must consist of all stakeholders, undertake regular meetings and make all key policy decisions. The Chonburi FA should have full time experienced and qualified staff to support the committee and be responsible for implementing the new grassroots and youth programmes in Chonburi.

Goal 3.2 - Establish A Well Structured Competition System For All Junior And Senior Schools [4 Mar @ 12:00am]

Why this Goal is a Priority Currently The Sports Authority of Thailand plays a major role in school competitions (Prime Minister Cup). Unfortunately, FAT has no involvement in coordinating this event. It is strongly recommended that the Sports Authority of Thailand, FAT and, once established, the Chonburi Football Association develop a working relationship for the implementation of the development policies applicable to all school competitions. Recommendation, would be for the Ministry of Tourism and Sport also to be apart of the development policies for all school competitions. The Grassroots and Youth Committee within the Chonburi FA should be the coordinating body for this cooperation. It would be highly beneficial for all junior and youth competitions and developments came under the guidance of the Chonburi Football Association, The Sports Authority of Thailand and the FAT Due to the lack of information supplied to AFC surrounding age groups U6 to U18 years of football activities within junior and senior schools, we can only recommend that an U10 and a U11 inter district junior school competition to be implemented. This also requires further research in relation to facilities and the number of junior schools within each district. It is vitally important that these age groups are put in place, as this will assist the player pathway and the identification of talented players for the Chonburi Football Association and also FAT.
