Established in 1966, Llanyrafon AFC is a vibrant football club based in Cwmbran, Torfaen, South Wales. As a progressive grassroots Youth Football Club, our primary goal is to provide young players with the best possible environment to develop their football skills and grow as individuals.
At Llanyrafon AFC, we pride ourselves on delivering top-class, age-appropriate coaching for players from U5's to U18's. Our dedicated coaching team consists of qualified coaches endorsed by the Football Association of Wales (FAW), who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to every training session and match. All of our staff members are DBS checked for your peace of mind, and they are also first aid certified to ensure the safety and well-being of all players.
Our club philosophy revolves around the concept of TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES MORE. We believe that teamwork and unity are the keys to success both on and off the field. Our vision is to create an inclusive and supportive community where players of all skill levels can thrive and reach their full potential.
When it comes to playing style, we aim to embrace the beautiful game by adopting a possession-based approach. We encourage our players to keep the ball moving, maintain a high tempo, and showcase their creativity on the field. We also emphasise the importance of decision-making skills, both in games and during training sessions. Furthermore, we want our players to develop their own football intelligence and make independent choices that contribute to their growth as athletes.
Hard work is at the core of our club ethos. We believe that dedication and perseverance are crucial for personal development and achieving success in football. We encourage our players to always give their best effort, both in training and in matches, and to constantly strive to become the best versions of themselves.
Confidence is another vital aspect of our club philosophy. We aim to create an environment where players feel empowered to express themselves, try out new ideas, and showcase their unique talents. We want our players to believe in themselves and their abilities, as this confidence will translate into improved performance on the field.
