Avon Ath JFC recruit players from all over the city, our recruitment intake process includes schools, Sports centres, soccer schools, & scouting.
We are a friendly, successful, and ambitious club, and have a reputation for playing attractive football in a spirit of good sportsmanship.
We have an excellent record of developing talent using our qualified coaches,with a number of Avon Ath players moving on to representative and professional football. However, we never lose sight of the fact that for the vast majority of our players, the sport represents an opportunity to make friends, stay fit, and have some fun whilst playing the World’s favourite sport. Hopefully along the way they will learn some lessons about self-discipline, co-operation, friendship and leadership that will stand them in good stead as they approach adult-hood.
