SUCCESS STORIES
My name is Aaron Haywood and I am Head Coach and one of the co-founders of AFC Nasaa. Our club was established in 2015 by Michael Adusei, Myself and Zavon Hines.
Our aim is to develop exciting players who are technically proficient and comfortable on the ball. We pride ourselves on bringing a professional edge to grassroots football through our coaching and playing experiences which has been a key point to our success in such a short time.
Our Aim is to use this project to help tackle vulnerable young people from
community, who are potentially getting involved in gang activities from an early age.
We use intense exercising and a lot of mental exercises to challenge the young people as well as we organise match fixtures trips outside of their environment.
Over the course of these seasons we have had great success and several boys show their worth and have been rewarded with contract sand early scholarships at the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham, Fulham, QPR, Millwall and Sutton. With many more trialling across the season at various London clubs.
The work cannot stop here, and we look forward to an exciting season ahead, with plenty instore.
This upcoming season we will be entering 7 age groups into the Junior Premier league and the London County Saturday Youth Football League; Under 7s, 8s, 9s, 11s, 12s, 13s and Under 15s.
