Small-Sided and Junior Football
Introduction to Small-Sided Football
Where children learn to play and fall in love with football as they grow. Small-sided football gives children, across Wales, the opportunity to learn to play as a team, try their best and understand the dynamics of the beautiful game. As players get older, the pitches and balls grow in size to match their physical development.
