Next steps 5-4

[Rob123]

Just been promoted to level 5 and was wondering what are the next steps for progression ?

You should be invited to apply for level 4, but I think that still only runs once a season. You would need to pass the FA fitness test, and there are also requirements to apply for L4 such as being available most Saturdays and midweeks.

Yup, @RustyRef is correct. The 5 to 4 process will re-start at the beginning of next season. You will need to do the fitness test, attend an FA Seminar, pass a LOTG test and be observed four times on suitable games. If you achieve all the necessary criteria then your county will then nominate you to the FA (potentially mid season or definitely at season end) and they will then decide how many / which of the nominated candidates they choose to accept
