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
association, 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, including:
* How ideological commitments and contemporary concerns for the
physical welfare of children in cities may have led teachers to
promote schoolboy football when it was not permitted during school
hours.
* The extent to which out of school organised football may have led
to outdoor games being accepted as part of the school
curriculum
* How elementary school football in London in the late nineteenth
century influenced the development of the amateur game
This is a fascinating account of the origins of schoolboy football
and the factors that have 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.
