VISION
At Maiden Newton Youth Football Club, affectionately known as the Hawks, we are committed to fostering a lifelong love for football in our young players. Our vision is to create a nurturing environment where the joy of the game is paramount, and each player, regardless of their initial skill level, feels valued and included.

INCLUSION-FIRST APPROACH
We believe in an ‘inclusion-first’ philosophy. Every child who joins our club is welcomed with open arms, and we strive to ensure that each one finds their place on the pitch. Our goal is to make football accessible and enjoyable for all, creating a diverse community that reflects the spirit of teamwork and unity inherent in the sport.

DEVELOPING LOVE FOR THE GAME
Our ultimate aim is to instill a deep-seated love for football in our members. We understand that the early years are crucial in shaping a child’s perspective towards sports. Therefore, our training sessions are designed to be fun, engaging, and tailored to inspire a passion for football.

RESPECTFUL AND COMPETITIVE SPIRIT
While nurturing love for the game, we also instill a respectful competitive nature in our players. We encourage healthy competition, emphasizing that it should always be underpinned by mutual respect, sportsmanship, and the spirit of fair play.

EMPOWERING ATTITUDE AND WORK ETHIC
We inspire our players to not only excel individually but also to uplift those around them. Our coaching focuses on developing a positive attitude and strong work ethic, encouraging players to be supportive teammates and to contribute positively to the team dynamic.

WARM AND WELCOMING COACHING STYLE
Our coaching staff embodies a warm and welcoming demeanour. We believe that a positive and encouraging coaching style is key to fostering self-confidence and a sense of belonging among players. This approach lays the foundation for a healthy competitive culture as players advance in their football journey.

TRANSITION TO COMPETITIVE CULTURE
As players grow and mature, our coaching adapts to prepare them for the competitive aspects of football. We gradually introduce them to a more competitive environment while ensuring that the joy and team spirit of the game remain central.

FOND MEMORIES AND LASTING FOUNDATIONS
We aspire for our graduates to look back at their time with the Hawks with fondness and pride. Our goal is to provide them with a solid foundation in football, not just in skills and tactics, but also in forming lifelong friendships and invaluable life lessons.

LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE AND ENJOYMENT
Our club is dedicated to leaving a legacy where excellence on the field is matched by enjoyment off it. We aim to nurture players who are not only skilled in scoring spectacular goals but who also carry the values and spirit of the Hawks wherever they go, in football and in life. 

At Maiden Newton Youth Football Club, we are more than just a club; we are a family that grows together, plays together, and celebrates the beautiful game together.
