We Make Footballers Gwent is excited to announce a new and exciting partnership with local football club Fleur De Lys FC. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide young footballers in the community with access to high-quality coaching and the opportunity to develop their skills in a competitive environment.
Reducing Waiting Lists & Providing Opportunities
One of the main objectives of this partnership is to help reduce the number of children currently on our waiting lists. As football continues to grow in popularity, especially among young players, the demand for training and development programmes has increased. By partnering with Fleur De Lys FC, we can offer these enthusiastic young players the chance to receive competitive football training on a weekly basis.
This initiative will provide a valuable opportunity for children who are waiting for a place at Fleur De Lys FC. While awaiting their official placement, these players will benefit from structured coaching in a competitive setting, ensuring they can continue their development without interruption.
Growing the Girls' Game
With the Women’s Euro 2025 competition on the horizon, there has never been a better time to focus on growing the girls' game within our local community. This partnership will play a crucial role in encouraging more girls to get involved in football, providing them with the chance to train, develop, and progress in a supportive environment.
Participation in girls' football has risen dramatically in recent years, and this trend is set to continue with the excitement surrounding the upcoming Women’s Euro 2025. Recent statistics show that the number of girls playing football in the UK has increased by over 30% in the past five years. Initiatives like The FA’s Girls’ Football Participation Plan have been instrumental in this growth, making the sport more accessible and inclusive for young girls. Local clubs, like Fleur De Lys FC, have been central to this change, offering dedicated spaces for girls to play, learn, and excel in football.
In line with these efforts, Fleur De Lys FC recently launched several girls-only teams, reinforcing their commitment to inclusivity and diversity within the sport. The partnership between We Make Footballers Gwent and Fleur De Lys FC will build on this success, providing a clear pathway for girls in the area to progress through the ranks and achieve their footballing goals.
The Future of Football in Gwent
Through this partnership, we are confident that we will not only see a reduction in waiting lists but also a rise in the number of girls taking part in the sport. By combining top-tier coaching with a focus on community development and inclusivity, we are paving the way for the next generation of footballers in Gwent.
We encourage parents, players, and anyone passionate about football to get involved and take advantage of this exciting opportunity. Whether you’re a young boy or girl looking to develop your skills, or a parent with a child eager to start their football journey, this partnership offers a fantastic platform for growth.
Stay tuned for more updates—we look forward to seeing the positive impact this partnership will have on the local football community in Gwent.
