At Taunton Town we are passionate about increased participation and allowing ALL children to enjoy the beautiful game!

Our Juniors program is run by the Taunton Youth FC Community Trust charity side of Taunton Town and 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. 

In these sessions we encourage 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.
