"Through the qualified
teachers in our schools, we aim to provide football for both boys and girls aged
four to eighteen, via the curriculum and on a voluntary basis for after school
activities"
Keith R James, Chairman WSFA
We have also included a
'Council' section with contact details for each one of our council members,
should you need to reach them.
Schools football has been the bedrock of player participation and development
for countless years. The Welsh Football Trust has recognised the importance of
this by forming a strong partnership with the governing body for schools
football, the Welsh Schools Football Association, to offer financial and
professional support for the activities it undertakes, including most
importantly, the National teams and Development squads.
We also offer schools throughout Wales a programme of support to attract the
interest of young players to the game and assist teachers in establishing
football in the curriculum, as well as after school clubs and festivals for
pupils to play competitive games. This hopefully will lead them to further their
interest and play on a more regular basis by joining a local junior club.
In an attempt to try and co-ordinate this support to schools in a structured
way, the Welsh Football Trust has devised a new National Programme, the
McDonald's Primary Schools Accreditation Scheme.
This scheme aims to increase participation and improve the standard of provision
in schools through the setting of quality standards that schools try and
achieve. In return, those schools that become accredited receive outstanding
benefits, through the support of McDonald's, including the use of the scheme's
branded logo, professional and voluntary support, free equipment, special
festivals, resource cards, a regular newsletter and international match tickets.
Special schools are involved in this scheme too and it is anticipated that it
will be expanded to include Secondary schools at some point in the future.
