We Make Footballers Blackwood — Building South Wales’ Next Generation of Academy Footballers

AtWe Make Footballers Blackwood, we’re proud to be recognised as one of South Wales’ most successful player-development environments — helping young footballers take their first steps towards professional and academy soccer.

Over the past year, our academy has seen an incredible number of players progress into both FAW and EFL academies, showcasing the strength of our coaching program and the dedication of our players and families.

We’re thrilled to now have players representing:

• Cardiff City FC – joining one of the strongest academies in Wales
• Newport County AFC – continuing their journey in the EFL system
• Pontypridd United FC – developing within a professional FAW academy structure
• Cardiff Met FC – progressing through one of Wales’ leading university and academy setups

Each of these achievements is built on our core philosophy:

✅ A fun, safe environment where every child grows in confidence

✅ High-quality, structured coaching that focuses on individual skill and decision-making

✅ A clear pathway that supports every player’s soccer journey — from their first session to academy opportunities

Our success stories are not by chance — they’re the result of consistent, player-centred coaching, strong communication with parents, and a shared belief that every child deserves the chance to reach their potential.

We’d like to thank our amazing coaching team, parents, and players who make our Blackwood sessions so special every week. Whether your child is dreaming of playing for their favourite club or simply wants to enjoy the game in a positive setting, We Make Footballers Blackwood is the perfect place to start their journey.
