What do you mean by grass roots?
Grassroots football in Wales refers to the community-level, non-professional side of the sport that plays a vital role in developing players, coaches, volunteers, and inclusive clubs across the country. It’s the foundation of Welsh football, encompassing local clubs, youth teams, school football, recreational leagues, and development programmes.
According to the Football Association of Wales (FAW), grassroots football is about enhancing lives through football by creating stronger, healthier, and more connected communities

Can my child join Llangwm Lions?
We welcome children of all ages however our longer running teams will normally have a full compliment of players and will not be recruiting unless players leave. At the younger level we will start a new U6 team every season as long as we have a volunteer coach in place.
How can I get involved?
Whether you want to coach, help out on Saturdays, fund raise or take on a committee role we are always interested in meeting new volunteers. To be able to work with the children, including as a helper or referee you will need to submit a DBS application which is funded by the FAW. Unfortunately DBS are not transferable across different organisations.
What sponsorship options do you have?
We are always excited to work with sponsors, Whether it is a one off amount to help provide equipment or to sponsoring team kits as our players frow through the years w can find something suitable to promote and display your generosity.
