Ardmore Rovers FC Details
"Success through participation for all" Who We are?Aidan and Eileen O'Donoghue and Shay Lynch (RIP) founded Ardmore Rovers S.F.C. in 1979. The club was formed to provide soccer football for children in the Ardmore area of Bray. The club developed very quickly and had seven teams within a few years from U9 to U11. Currently the club has a vibrant Cubs Academy, where children as young as 4 years old start to learn the basic skills. When they reach 7 years of age, they join the youngest of our 35 teams from U8 to U18, which cater for about 500 children from all areas in Bray and further afield. We also have 2 Senior teams catering for about 40 Adults. The aim of the club?The main aim of the club is to provide a safe and friendly environment for children and young adults to enjoy a sporting pastime. To that effect, all teams are managed and run by at least two adults who in turn are supported by the club. Running more than one team in each age group allows us to facilitate all levels of players from competitive children with very good skills, to non competitive children starting out with low skills levels. We coach children as early as 4 years of age and indeed we encourage them to start as young as possible, as competitive matches start at under 10 years of age. How does it work?From age 7 to age 9 children play 5v5 games which allow their soccer skills to develop on a smaller pitch with less players, as only five from each team are allowed on the pitch at a time. This moves to 7 a side at age 10 and at 12 years of age, children start playing 9 a-side and at 13 years of age, they play 11 a side soccer and their positioning and ball control skills, which were developed over the past 6 years, are then put to competitive use. Where do we compete?All the age groups from U8 to U18 play in the DDSL Leagues. At Senior level, we compete within the Leinster Senior League.
