Children aged 3 years and over can join our mini session on Saturday mornings. The training is designed and developed to provide a programme of training to incorporate pre-school children, progressing to the older age groups. The training takes place in a fun environment, with an emphasis on enjoyment, as well as building co-ordination, technique, strength and agility.
Saturday morning Mini’s and Mint’s coaching is payable on the day.
As your child progresses in the game, they also have the option to join one of our youth squads. Payment, in the form of membership subscriptions, is due annually. The price for the 2023-24 year is £140 per child (£100 for additional siblings). The club is run entirely by volunteer coaches and committee members but these charges go towards equipment purchases, venue hire, insurance and general upkeep and maintenance.
Timings for each group will differ. Please contact the coach directly to find out more. Contact details are available on the Teams page.

All football equipment at the venue is provided. All players must wear suitable clothing to participate. We fully understand that kitting your child out with all the latest gear can be very expensive, so all we ask, is that they have correct footwear, and a pair of shin pads are a must. Comfortable sports clothing for training in is adequate. If you child is representing the team in a match, club kit will be required.
Additional, optional, training kit can be purchased via the macron store > https://macronstoresw.com/clubs/newquay-afc-youth/newquay-afc-youth-players/

At Newquay AFC Youth we are committed to providing a friendly and safe environment for all children, members and parents/carers. We acknowledge that occasionally differences and misunderstandings may arise.
Raising the complaint directly with the person perceived as causing the grievance may sometimes address the concerns. However, there will be occasions where issues cannot be resolved informally. It is the policy of Newquay AFC Youth to provide an orderly and formal procedure to deal promptly and fairly with any serious complaints.
Informal Procedure
• Discuss the complaint with the aggravator and seek a resolution as soon as practical
• Talk directly, face to face
• Avoid emails
• Where no satisfactory solution is possible, initiate a formal grievance procedure.
Formal Grievance Procedure
As soon as practical, issue a description of the complaint in writing to the Newquay AFC Youth Chair on [email protected] in accordance with the FA Charter Standard Club Programme.
• The grievance must state the alleged issue, and in your view a suggested resolution to the grievance.
• The committee’s Grievance Panel will formally respond to the grievance and if necessary request further information.
• A Grievance hearing involving all interested parties will be called, where all sides can put their case forward.
• Having heard all sides of the argument, the Grievance Panel will make a decision on how best to resolve the complaint. This decision will be communicated to all interested parties.
• Decisions on all grievances will be made within two weeks of the formal procedure being initiated.
• The decision of the Grievance Panel is binding and no appeal is allowed
