ABOUT US

For many years, Westway FC has been providing talented young local players with high quality coaching in state of the art facilities. In doing so, we have been making a fantastic contribution to our local community by developing children both on and off the pitch, as well as providing a platform for our most talented players to move on to professional football clubs.

We are a Football Association Charter Standard Club, having been recognised by the FA for our high standards of coaching, administration, child safeguarding, and commitment to improving the standards of youth football.

We currently run seven teams from U9-U15, which compete in the Camden and Islington Youth Football League (CIYFL), and also run a Skills Programme for players who are either not yet ready for the League Teams, or cannot commit to CIYFL matches

In 2018, Westway FC adopted its first official club badge. Given the club's proximity and attachment to the Grenfell Tower, we wanted to pay homage to the victims of the tragedy in 2017 and included 72 stars in the badge in memory of the victims.

League Type

In line with The FA guidelines, our teams from U9 - U11 will play in non-competitive leagues. This means that there is no league table or results published and that matches are played to focus on player development rather than to win at all costs. Our U12 - U15 teams however, will play in competitive leagues wherein league tables and results are published.

With that said, all of our teams will play in competitive tournaments throughout the season in order to ensure that an element of competition remains.

PARENTS’ MATCHES

Throughout the season, we will run a series of friendly football matches in which the Westway FC parents can compete.

The matches will consist of teams comprising Westway FC parents and coaches and will be a great way to show the children who they get their talent from!

Details of the parents' matches will be communicated throughout the season.

PLAYERDEVELOPMENTPHILOSOPHY

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY

At Westway FC, we believe in providing our players with a holistic development pathway from the moment they join the club. As a result, our mission is to provide our players with a player-centred football environment wherein each child:

• Enjoys playing the game• Develops as a football player• Is developed with a long term focus through age appropriate

coaching• Receives positive support from their coach• Feels like an important part of their team, regardless of ability

level• Learns life skills that are important beyond the football pitch

In line with our holistic development philosophy, we view the player development process through the lens of the ‘Four Corner Model’; that is, we will look to develop each player in the following ways: Physical, Technical, Tactical, and Psychological/Social. In doing so, we believe this gives our players the best opportunity to reach their potential, as a sportsperson, as well as an individual.
