"Through the qualified teachers in our schools, we aim to provide football for both boys and girls aged four to eighteen, via the curriculum and on a voluntary basis for after school activities" - Keith R James, Chairman WSFA

We have also included a Council section with contact details for each one of our council members, should you need to reach them.

Schools football has been the bedrock of player participation and development for countless years. The Welsh Football Trust has recognised the importance of this by forming a strong partnership with the governing body for schools football, the Welsh Schools Football Association, to offer financial and professional support for the activities it undertakes, including most importantly, the National teams and Development squads.

We also offer schools throughout Wales a programme of support to attract the interest of young players to the game and assist teachers in establishing football in the curriculum, as well as after school clubs and festivals for pupils to play competitive games. This hopefully will lead them to further their interest and play on a more regular basis by joining a local junior club.

In an attempt to try and co-ordinate this support to schools in a structured way, the Welsh Football Trust has devised a new National Programme, the McDonald's Primary Schools Accreditation Scheme.

This scheme aims to increase participation and improve the standard of provision in schools through the setting of quality standards that schools try and achieve. In return, those schools that become accredited receive outstanding benefits, through the support of McDonald's, including the use of the scheme's branded logo, professional and voluntary support, free equipment, special festivals, resource cards, a regular newsletter and international match tickets. Special schools are involved in this scheme too and it is anticipated that it will be expanded to include Secondary schools at some point in the future.
