Case Studies

All members are invited to submit case studies that highlight the power of children's football (in any format) and any issues that the NCFA community my find interesting. It is hoped that we can present a wide range of information about participants or small groups, frequently including the accounts of subjects themselves. A form of qualitative descriptive research, the case study looks intensely at an individual or small participant pool, drawing conclusions only about that participant or group and only in that specific context. If you have any questions please contact thecfa.co.uk for more details.
