I have been playing football since I was seven, and I then joined the College team to help with developing my skills. I’m gaining more social skills, confidence and leadership skills, as well as seeing an improvement in my football skills.
“I enjoy the friendships being made and the trips to away games. And the home game atmosphere with laughter and happiness is always fun.”
“The college has helped me a lot, giving me the opportunity and pathway through to TUAFC, and training most days has helped me improve all aspects of my game and become a better player.”
