Delighted to launch the @FAWales Grassroots League Development Pilot Programme last night. The programme will support our leagues to create development plans, strengthen sustainability, governance, modernisation to ultimately provide great player experiences & support retention.

@DanRace145296 @FAWales @ben_field10 @NoelMooney13 @FAW_CDwest @Fawwestwales @MarkA7799 Thanks Dan, great facility for the area. And if it rains, we still play ☺️ #gameson

@Luke_Williams84 @FAWales @ben_field10 @NoelMooney13 @FAW_CDwest @Fawwestwales @MarkA7799 Cracking facility fair play. Played walking football up there last Tuesday night. Going to be quite grim up there if it's pissing it down though!

Great morning in Swansea to see the newly developed Penlan 3G facility being used by the Junior League as a central hub venue for Small-Sided Football. ✅ 36 teams playing ✅ Multiple playing formats used simultaneously (5v5 & 9v9) ✅ Hundreds of ☺️ faces 👏⚽

Also covering the importance of appropriate competition, to maxmise participant enjoyment which in turn will support greater player retention.

Some excellent insight from multiple sports from across the UK and Europe. Common themes across UK sports in that Physical Literacy is still seen as a key area to address to give our sport participants the basic fundamental skills and best chance of being successul.

It was great to present and network this week at the 'Youth Sport Competition Think Tank' event held at @leedsbeckett School of Sport to share what the @FAWales are currently doing in the space of providing relevant competition in junior grassroots football.

A great night co-delivering our latest Grassroots League Development Forum for our volunteers alongside @NathanDRFC at @EnglandFootball covering the importance of Development & Succession Planning.

@NathanDRFC Thanks for your input Nathan and great conversations with our grassroots volunteers.

A great league forum led by @Luke_Williams84 for the Wales FA tonight looking at league development and succession planning - good to share some ideas and to hear about the excellent work taking place.

A great opportunity for grassroots leagues to help us 'test' alternative seasonal calendars 👇

Can't underestimate the magnitude of that 7-1 thumping tonight by @Cymru. Macedonia were unbeaten in the group, conceded just 3 in 7 games and conceded just 6 in last 15 games before tonight. An outstanding performance and we go into playoffs with momentum 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚽
