WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO OFFER

As a club, our junior section means a great deal to us and it has been brilliant to see it substantially grow and develop over the past few seasons.

We are now one of the leading junior football clubs in Herefordshire and our philosophy of prioritising enjoyment and player development sets us apart from other teams.

While winning and losing is a part of any sport, we must never lose focus that we are providing a space for children to play sport and enjoyment must be our key goal.

All players bring different skills and abilities and it is our role as coaches to ensure we can offer an inclusive approach that makes all children feel welcome.

We are very unique as a club because so many of our committee members, coaches and managers are former players. This helps to create a family feel within the club and has a real sense of belonging and creates a “one club” mentality.

Our children wear the same playing kit as our men’s first team and it is an immense source of pride for me and the other people associated with Westfields to see hundreds of young people wearing the famous claret and blue each weekend.

The previous seasons have seen junior players make their way through the age groups and into the Westfields development and first teams. The men’s side that play in the Hellenic League is the leading amateur club in Herefordshire and play at an excellent standard so to watch young players grow and develop into such talented players give us all great satisfaction.

But we are equally pleased to see so many boys and girls simply enjoy the feeling of playing football with their teammates at our club; we truly believe the ‘Westfields way’ is unique and sets us apart.
