Teachers and Football

"The 1870 Education Act that opened up elementary education for all children contained no provision for outdoor games. This book explains how teachers, through the elementary-school football associations, introduced boys to organised football as an out-of-school activity. The influence and significance of this work, insofar as it relates to the elementary-school curriculum and the growth of professional and amateur football, are explored in detail." "This is an account of the origins of schoolboy football and the factors that influenced its development, and the consequences and benefits that have followed not only for school football but for sport in schools and communities as a whole."--Jacket.
