The FA Greater Game Initiative
The Greater Game is a purpose-led programme which will use the power of football to help improve the health & well being of young people across the nation, inspiring them to make at least one healthier action per week.
The programme is launched at a time when less than half of 10-16-year-olds in the UK regularly exercise for an hour a day and 1 in 5 children leave primary school classified as obese.
This could be for many reasons including a combination of unhelpful social norms and the modern day environment which make it challenging for young people to lead healthier, happier lives.
These factors make having good mental and physical health harder than it should be – which has a knock-on impact on the overall happiness, self-confidence, healthy living and achieving full potential (at school and beyond).
The Greater Game which is aimed at 12-16s and those associated with this age group (parents, guardians, coaches, teachers, local communities and so on). It is a long-term mission, and we believe that using the power and scale of football, along with working with existing and new partners, we can make real change.

Sleep hygiene refers to healthy sleep habits.
Good sleep hygiene is important because of how crucial getting good sleep is for your mental and physical health, as well as your overall quality of life.
Your behaviours during the day — not just before you go to bed — can affect how well you sleep.
Your food and drink choices, schedule, evening routine, and many other activities all play a part in your ability to sleep.
