🏆 Tournament Day! 🏆

Today we hosted our 8–12 Tournament, and what an incredible day it was! The competition was intense from start to finish, with every team giving it their all.

A huge congratulations to our winners! 👏 After losing their first two games in the league stage, they didn’t let their heads drop. They showed fantastic resilience, won every game from that point on, and went on to lift the trophy. This is exactly the mindset we want to develop at We Make Footballers—passion, determination, resilience, and a willingness to keep improving.

Most importantly, every single player had fun. Seeing so many smiles, great sportsmanship, and players enjoying themselves is what today was all about.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a brilliant day. We can’t wait to see you all back in September! ⚽💙

🏆 Final Players of the Week of the Season! 🏆

⚽ Lewis
Lewis showed fantastic end product this week, scoring 4 goals in his game to help bring his team back into it! At the start of the season, Lewis told us he wanted to improve his end product, and it’s been brilliant to see all his hard work paying off over the last few weeks. A well-deserved award! 👏

⚽ Jay
Jay has recently returned to our sessions and has shown great development already. He dominated the drills with confidence and carried that same quality into the multi-ball games. It’s great to have him back, and we’re excited to see his progress continue! 💪

⚽ Aron
This was only Aron’s second session with us, making this award an incredible achievement! Aron impressed us with his excellent listening, focus and commitment throughout every drill. Players who take on coaching advice this early always put themselves in a great position to develop, and we’re sure Aron has a bright future ahead. ⭐

A huge congratulations to all of our Players of the Week this season and a massive thank you to every player and parent for your support throughout the year.

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for an even bigger and better season.

See you all in September! ⚽🖤💛

🌟 Every child develops at their own pace, and Clark is a perfect example of why patience and encouragement matter.

When Clark first joined us, he was incredibly shy and found it difficult to come into sessions. It took weeks of building trust, confidence and taking things one step at a time. As Clark’s dad says in this video, our coaches never gave up on him.

Fast forward to today, and Clark is absolutely thriving! 💙⚽ He now joins in independently, no longer needs Dad by his side, and is confidently playing and learning alongside the rest of the group.

Watching children grow in confidence is just as rewarding as watching them improve their football.

Thank you to Clark’s family for sharing their journey with us. Stories like these are exactly why we love what we do.

If your child is a little nervous about starting football, don’t worry—they won’t be the first, and they certainly won’t be the last. We’re here to support every child at their own pace.

Player’s of the week!

Xael: Xael showed fantastic commitment and determination in the 1v1 drills. He was always willing to take on his defender, using clever body movement and skill to create space. Even when he lost the ball, he showed great desire to win it back. Brilliant attitude, Xael! 💪🏻

Taylor: Taylor worked incredibly hard in the second drill, getting up and down the cone lines while confidently using the skills introduced in the warm-up. It’s always great to see our players transfer what they’ve learned straight into the drills. Well done, Taylor! 👏

Bilal: Bilal showed outstanding pace in the first drill, racing his partner to the cones called out by the coaches. His speed was a real standout today—could we have a future flying winger on our hands? ⚡️

Frankie: Frankie continues to impress us every single week. His quick feet, technical ability, and confidence on the ball make him a joy to watch. He topped off another brilliant session by scoring four goals in our 5v5 games, leading his team to victory. We can’t wait to see how far Frankie can go! ⭐

BRIDGEND PLAYERS OF THE WEEK🔥

4–7’s Veer:
This week’s topic was centred around 1v1s, where we challenged players to use the skills demonstrated by the coaches to change both their pace and direction to beat their defender. Veer took on plenty of the coaching points this week and, in particular, showed excellent changes of direction to get past his defender. Brilliant effort, Veer! 👏

8–12’s Leon:
After losing his 5v5 match last week, Leon said he really wanted to win the next one—and he certainly came in with a point to prove! He showed great 1v1 skills, scored the most goals on the day, and was always quick to celebrate with his teammates whenever they did something well.

We encourage our players to be confident in their own ability while recognising the importance of teamwork, and Leon demonstrated both brilliantly. 💪

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK🔥🔥

Lucian – Frankie showed excellent technical ability throughout the 5v5 games. He was constantly looking to drive forward with the ball, confidently taking on his opponent time and time again. His willingness to attack defenders and create opportunities was impressive. Alongside his technical quality, Frankie also demonstrated a fantastic work rate, contributing all over the pitch and never shying away from hard work.

Oliver – Oliver has made tremendous progress over the last month. He consistently listens to and applies the coaches’ advice, showing a real desire to improve every week. Oliver is always eager to learn and pays close attention when coaching points are being explained. It’s fantastic to see him dedicating time to developing the fundamentals of the game, which are so important at this stage of his football journey.

Jack – Jack can sometimes feel a little nervous when joining our sessions, but this week he completely impressed us. From the moment he arrived, he threw himself into every part of the session and performed brilliantly. During the drills, Jack showed excellent defensive awareness and timed his tackles really well. What stood out most was his bravery and determination, confidently competing against players who were a couple of years older than him. A fantastic effort, Jack – well done!

Hugo – Over the past few weeks, Hugo has shown incredible growth in both confidence and ability. He has gone from being hesitant to try new things, worried he might not succeed, to confidently competing against players up to two years older than him—and even coming out on top at times. One piece of advice Hugo really embraced was following through with his laces when shooting and trying to “break the goal” with every strike. The improvement was clear to see, with almost every shot packed with power and conviction. We were beginning to think we’d need to buy some new goals!
