GRASSROOTS
Football is at the heart of communities, across Wales, through an extensive network of clubs, which create the perfect environment to unite people of all ages, genders and backgrounds.
Among many testing targets, the FAW Trust aim to get 60,000 children playing twice a week, as registered club members, by 2024 while growing the voluntary workforce to help them reach their potential.
In a bid to offer a safe and enjoyable experience to all, their National Facilities Strategy aims to get 100 artificial pitches laid in Wales by 2024.
COACHING
The FAW Trust continue to invest in our world-class national coach education programme and engage our community of professional and volunteer coaches to grow the game and raise standards from grassroots to international football.
They have invested in making training courses more accessible, with online modules halving the time it takes to become a coach.
There is also a seamless pathway for coaches who want to progress from the Football Leaders Award to the FAW C Certificate, UEFA B, A and Pro Licence awards and offer top-class coach mentoring.
Their extensive coach education programme aims to provide opportunities for the brightest Welsh coaches to learn alongside some of the biggest names in the game in an environment that's mutually beneficial.
DEVELOPMENT
As they aim to build the legacy of the history created by Wales' senior national teams, the FAW Trust start every young Welsh player's journey by educating them into the 'Welsh Way' of playing.
They will provide facilities and frameworks to enable the most talented to succeed, as well as protecting, educating and empowering them.
They have established six regional performance centres, which feed into a national girls' system, as they aim to get 90% of boys and girls playing for national development squads (U16) representing Wales at intermediate level (U17).
They also have two impairment national disability teams and three regional performance centres which support talented disability players.
They've created a National Syllabus document, which provides a blueprint for coaches at all levels to implement the Welsh Way of playing, a long-term vision which includes a philosophy, identity and framework for our national coaches to work within.
It is planned that the implementation of the National Syllabus will create generation of intelligent, athletic and flexible footballers, who can interchange positions and solve problems in real-time, ready for the demands of international football when they get the call.
The FAW Trust is based at the home of Welsh football, the National Football Development Centre, Dragon Park, Newport International Sports Village, Newport.
