Come and join us! After our young stars of the future have started their football journey in Kickers they get the first taste of team action in non- competitive football in the Aberdare Valley Football League. Matches are played on a Saturday morning and are in a round-robin type arrangement each week playing against other teams and are for children in school years 1 through to and including year 6. Scores are not recorded or published and it is all about working as a team, developing social skills and above all having fun. Friendships can be built and maintained for many years coming through as a team together and hopefully one day our little Grasshoppers will be running out for the senior team! We are always looking for more coaches and to launch new teams so please get in contact with our Mini Secretary, Carwyn Speck by emailing registrations@aberdaretownfc.co.uk

Grasshoppers

Bringing our history back to the present

Our origins Grasshoppers is a name that is well known in football within the valley having been one of the biggest provision of children’s football for many years. The Grasshoppers merged with the Club to form our first ever mini and junior section and was spearheaded back then by Chris Welch, Steve Pearce and Wayne Holder to name just three. Presentation nights and training were always well attended and was the opening experiences of many local players into football. We take great delight in bringing the name back in 2025 to denote our mini section at Aberdare Town.
