North Wales Dragons Community Football Team

About North Wales Dragons Community Football Team

The North Wales Dragons are a not for profit Community Football Team founded by Chris, Steven and Gareth Roberts. The team was founded following an idea to raise money for a charity called Boots for Africa which was the charity formed by the World’s Oldest Football Club, Sheffield FC. The first football match was played against the Ayrshire Outsiders suffering a 10 – 0 loss but making over £2000 for the charity. The decision to make it an annual event was taken and from there it has snowballed into something we never imagined could happen, and the results have improved too. The team, aged between 16 and 65, now raises funds and awareness for various causes throughout the year, playing our home games in Llandudno, forming a partnership with Llandudno FC. We also travel across the UK, with games in Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield and Cardiff in the list of past and future fixtures. The team is made up of individuals from local towns who all take time away from work and family to not only play football but to raise funds awareness for various charities throughout the year. Our success comes not only in awards and trophies from matches, not only does it come from helping players in getting out of their comfort zone while becoming fitter and healthier but it also comes from the charities themselves when they say thank you and you can see the change you have made to that cause in action. Friday nights sees our squad come together for an hour-long match, here we can see what works in the squad, improve health, fitness and ultimately make new friendships in the squad. People from all types of backgrounds are given the same opportunities when it comes to match selection, everyone brings something to the team. We have become a go to contact for many wanting to start their own community- based club, guiding teams on training set up's, match day's and various other elements such as health, safety and insurance.
