Discussing the new Youth Network, Hampshire FA CEO, Neil Cassar, Said: "We recognise the need to engage with young people and involve their thinking in our decision-making processes. This represents a key priority for Hampshire FA over the next 12 months as we launch our new youth engagement strategy. We very much look forward to establishing our new youth network and having talented young people contributing to the development of football in Hampshire in the future”.
