Founded by Guiseley Juniors, Menston, Burley Trojans and Ilkley Town, our mission is to support
YOUTH PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
for both girls and boys at these four clubs
We achieve this through
FIRST CLASS COACHING
that complements the work of grassroot coaches
Success stories - Olivia Harrison (U12's)
"Today, I’m playing at York City academy. I got there through trying my best all the time. WGA helped me through the training sessions and the coaches because they help you learn new skills and aspects of football. It’s helped along the way, definitely."
"NOT ONLY DOES WGA OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW AS A FOOTBALLER, BUT TO GROW AS A PERSON TOO. AND VITALLY, HAVE FUN."
JOINING WGA
