New Junior Soccer Teams Launching in Blackwood

Following the continued growth of our weekly soccer training sessions in Blackwood, Ebbw Vale, Tredegar and Brynmawr, we are now introducing a structured pathway for players who want to take the next step from technical training into competitive grassroots soccer.

⚽ A New Local Soccer Club for Children in Blackwood

Many parents attending our weekly kids soccer training in Blackwood often ask:

“Are there any junior soccer teams or soccer clubs near me that my child can join locally?”

The launch of WMF Gwent Teams will now provide:

• Local youth soccer teams in Blackwood
• Development-focused grassroots matchdays
• A supportive environment to apply technical skills in games
• A clear transition from soccer training into team soccer

WMF Gwent Teams will operate as a local development-focused soccer club in Blackwood, supporting children aged 4–12 across Gwent and providing opportunities to represent WMF in structured matches against other local junior soccer teams across South Wales.

📈 From Soccer Training to Matchday

At We Make Footballers, our sessions focus on:
