Our Taunton Juniors Program
At Taunton Town Youth Juniors we are passionate about increased participation and allowing ALL children to enjoy the beautiful game!
The Juniors section of Taunton Youth FC Community Trust is a Football Development Centre in Taunton. The Juniors is run in line with the Football Associations four corner model. We have range of experienced coaches, all passionate and committed to providing the best experience and environment for the young players to flourish.
Our hugely exprienced Head of Football, Gary Green manages the Juniors, he is supported by a team of experienced coaching staff.
We encourage the players to develop their individual skills and focus on keeping possession of the ball; whilst embracing mistakes made when they attempt to do so. ALL players are encouraged to improve their techniques, skills and game understanding in a programme of age-appropriate coaching.
Youth development is a very individual thing; where some players take in information quickly and are able to translate this into practice, others need more time. We realise the need to show patience to ALL players wherever they are in their development - it's a long process.
A fun learning environment created by players, coaches and parents is central to what we do. We encourage them to be the best they can be and express themselves. Ball mastery is a huge part of their growth as a footballer, being comfortable with a ball at their feet is crucial and we spend a lot of time mastering skills and ball control. We minimise the fear factor and allow players to feel confident and relaxed at all times - we believe this has a massive part to play in them realising their potential.
We encourage parents to purchase the Juniors team kit so that players feel part of setup. The kit is a sky blue t-shirt, claret shorts and socks, with a claret zip up top and navy blue raincoat. All come with the Taunton Town badge and player initials are optional.
You can purchase in store at Somerset County Sports or via their online shop.
