The programme will include free inclusive football drop-in training sessions delivered by our highly skilled FAW qualified coaches around an introduction to the Street Football game by providing fun, engaging and inclusive sessions.
Scott (Project Manager) “We are ecstatic to work with new partners and be able to deliver our services at Penydarren Park, I believe the project will be well received and benefit socially excluded and homeless individuals in Merthyr Tydfil, we aim to tackle social exclusion head on and provide these sessions free of charge to remove barriers to participation ”
Street Football Wales have also formed a partnership with The Boot Room who will donate football boots for players in need. If you are interested in attending but need a pair of football boots. Contact us directly and we can arrange these for you.
What our partners think of the new project
Ryan Jones (Coalfields Regeneration Trust) “Too many people in our Coalfield communities who could benefit from sport and physical activity don’t. The evidence is overwhelming, the biggest gains and the best value is found in supporting people and creating new opportunities for those who are least active. That's why Game On Wales and The Coalfields Regeneration Trust is delighted to be investing and supporting this new weekly Merthyr Street Football Wales
Robert Davies (Merthyr Town FC "The main purpose of our Community Foundation is to deliver a service that is recognised as successful in making a significant social impact; creating a positive attitude to life and providing opportunities for everyone, particularly the most hard-to-reach and hard-to-help members of our society. The partnership with Street Football, Coalfields Regeneration Trust and Game On Wales will certainly help to achieve this objective."
