We are pleased to announce that we have achieved SILVER accreditation status by the FAW Trust for this season 2020/21.

The aim of the accreditation scheme is to raise standards at every junior club in Wales’ six area associations, so parents can be confident in the care their children will receive at their chosen club.

The accreditation process ensures clubs have more and better coaches, all qualifications are valid and the provision and procedures in place are conducive to positive experiences for all players. 

The FAW Trust recently conducted a club accreditation survey which stated that 74% of clubs felt that club accreditation had a positive impact on club development by raising coaching standards, increasing the profile of the club and improving club structures.

InIine with our club development goals, we have been improving the qualification standards within the club over the last couple of seasons maintaining our high level Bronze award for the last few years. This season we have improved on our status again and achieved Silver award status. We achieved this by increasing the number of FLA qualified coaches, increasing the number of Goal Keeper award coaches and now have C licence level coach who then takes an active part on the coordination of coaching activities within the club.

Our club development journey is an ongoing process to ensure the club moves forward and in parallel to celebrating our success in achieving Silver status award, we can now lay the foundations to continue along our accreditation road map and aim for higher accreditation levels hopefully achieving gold status within the next few years.

  
Ultimately we can only achieve these current and future attainment levels by the 100% commitment by all of our volunteers who make Ty Celyn Junior FC a vibrant, safe and community led sports organisation.

After a terrific increase in players securing the future of our under 12s team, we are pleased to announce that TSS-UK has sponsored our u12s injecting a new lease of life into the team. We look forward to working with TSS-UK and forever grateful for their commitment to supporting grassroots football. Thank you.

As part of our values to provide a safe environment to participate in football, we try to ensure that everyone involved in the club is DBS checked and qualified for the role that they volunteer for. For instance, for coaches, they must have a minimum Football Leader Award (FLA) and first aiders must have completed the minimum FAW 1st Aider qualification. We also ensure that we have a trained Safeguarding officer.

To operate as a football club, be affiliated to the FAW and SWFA and be able to play in the Cardiff and District League, we must be accredited. There are various levels of accreditation starting with Standard through to Platinum level.

We are pleased to announce that we continue to maintain our Bronze accreditation level which is a fantastic level for a grassroots clubs. This is achieved due to the hard work and commitment of all involved. Note, most clubs in Wales are Standard accreditation.

To ensure we are always trying to improve and develop our club, we are currently making plans to achieve Silver accreditation hopefully towards the end of this season (2019-20).  In the meantime, being a Bronze accredited club allows us to use the official Bronze Accreditation Badge in all our branding.

We are very pleased to announce that Andrew Varley Financial Planning has sponsored our u7s this year. Andy is making a massive contribution to the u7s by also being one of the coaches. Thanks Andy!

We are really pleased to announce that we have been awarded ‘Super Club Status‘ by Sport Cardiff for our commitment to Safeguarding within the Club.
