CALDICOT TOWN JUNIOR AFC PROVIDE NEW CLUB OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN
15 Aug 2008
Caldicot Town Junior AFC have recently teamed up with Disability Sport Wales in Monmouthshire, to provide a new weekly football session, for children with mild to moderate disabilities.
February 2008 marked the start of 10 new football taster sessions for children in Monmouthshire between 8 – 16 years. The sessions were such a success with more than 23 children attending the one hour session over the 10 weeks, that Caldicot Town Junior AFC have since taken a further step, to embrace the session as part of their weekly club diary.
Head Coach for the disability sessions - Andrew Edwards, coaches the session with Volunteer Coach - Mark Foster, has been really encouraged by the response and was keen to start this new block of football sessions under the banner of Caldicot Town Junior AFC.
Claire Lampan – Disability Sport Wales Development Officer for Monmouthshire commented; ‘ This is such an encouraging start, both boys and girls are training regularly now, most of whom didn’t have any regular sporting club opportunity until this partnership was developed. We hope the team will continue to develop over the next season, and enter some friendly competitions in the South East Wales Region, where they will be able to play matches organised by the FAW Trust.’
Sessions continue to run on Friday evenings 6-7pm at Caldicot Leisure Centre playing fields.
