FFPS promotes non-competitive soccer in a fun, safe and positive environment .〔http://www.ffps.org/Welcome.aspx#mission〕 To ensure this, FFPS was designed with special rules and policies to enable equal play for every child in all positions. Founded in 1986 in Katy, Texas, by Jack Hendrie, FFPS believes that every child should be accepted and included without a requirement to try out or perform. ==History== Fun Fair Positive Soccer was founded in 1986 by Jack Hendrie and a group of dedicated parents in Katy, Texas, who believed there was a better way to provide every youth with a positive soccer experience. Rules and procedures were designed to give children the opportunity to play and enjoy soccer without the demands from adults to win or perform. Five-a-side soccer rules were chosen, equal play rules with a unique equal substitution system were designed, balanced teams were instituted, and parent training was set up to ensure that games would be fair and positive. Parents were asked to “behave” and be positive toward their children. In 1995, Jack began expanding FFPS beyond Katy to other areas of Houston. Since then, FFPS has grown to encompass 22 new leagues throughout the Greater Houston area and more than 15,000 players. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fun Fair Positive Soccer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
