Pontardawe ASD Football Academy

⚽ VOLUNTEERS WANTED – PONTARDAWE ⚽

Our football group for children with ASD and additional needs is growing, and we’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our team 💙

📍 Pontardawe Leisure Centre
🕔 Fridays | 5–6pm

No football or coaching experience needed — just patience, enthusiasm, and a willingness to help children feel included and supported ⚽

Volunteering with us is great experience for:

🎓 Teaching & childcare
🎓 Health & social care
🎓 Psychology & sport
🎓 CVs, university applications & future jobs

Several of our previous volunteers have gone on to secure roles including teaching assistants and other professional careers, with employers recognising volunteering experience as a huge positive 💪

It’s only one hour a week, but it can make a massive difference.

⚽ Join our amazing ASD football club! ⚽

Does your child enjoy football or would they like to try it in a friendly, supportive environment?

We run weekly football sessions for children and young people with ASD and we are currently welcoming new players to join our group.

Our football sessions are designed for players with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) aged 7 years old and up to enjoy football in a friendly, supportive and structured environment.

Everyone is welcome so if your child is new to football or if they regularly play football then we'd love to have you as part of our group.

📍 Where: The 3G pitch at Pontardawe Leisure Centre

🕓 When: Friday each week between 5pm and 6pm

💷 Cost: £4 per week on a pay as you play basis

👟 What to bring: Sports kit, trainers/boots, water bottle

We’ve had an amazing group of players training and developing their skills together — you can check out photos and videos from our sessions on this page to see what it’s all about!

If you’d like to come along (or know someone who would), then please feel free to send us a message on Facebook (either through Messenger or the WhatsApp button on our page) or alternatively please feel free to contact me on 07468537427 💙

We're also looking for volunteers!

As our group continues to grow, we'd love to welcome a few friendly volunteers to help support our sessions. You don't need to be a football coach or have previous experience - just be patient, encouraging, enjoy helping children and making a difference. Whether you can help out weekly or just occasionally we'd love to hear from you.

Hi All,

We have decided to cancel tonight's session. With the predicted heat during our training session and with little shade on the pitch we feel it is best not to run the session on safety grounds.

Have a great week and if you have any questions then please feel free to send us a message.

Hi

Unfortunately, there will be no training session this evening due to the weather.

Hope to see you all next week.

🎄 Sharing a local festive event! 🎄

One of our lovely parents asked us to pass this on — the Victorian Street Fayre is happening at Neath Castle on Saturday 29th November, 11am–3pm.

There’ll be gift stalls, live music, and some freebie turkey rolls for the early arrivals and free crepes for people coming later in the afternoon.

If you’re looking for something fun and Christmassy to do with the family, then the Fayre is certainly worth a visit this Saturday! 🎅✨
