Aberystwyth Town Academy is committed to supporting the National Player Development structure and the Coach Education Programme.
Aberystwyth Town Academy will provide a quality coaching programme for talented young footballers delivered by qualified coaches in a safe environment. It will achieve this by:-
Adopting a player centred approach
Ensuring the welfare of the player is paramount
Promoting codes of conduct for players, parents and coaches
Utilising high quality, safe facilities and equipment
Encouraging continuing coach education and awareness
Operating in an open and transparent manner
Adhering and complying with UEFA and FAW Academy guidelines
Maintaining high standards of administration
Parents will be advised to;
Encourage their child to play by the laws of the game
Avoid pressurising their child about winning or losing
Support and encourage all players including the opposition
Avoid publicly criticising their child or other players
Accept decisions made by match officials
Many Academies do not allow parents to attend Academy matches. We do not adopt that view but parents who are unable to follow this advice will be asked not to attend Academy games or coaching sessions
