SSA Summer of Football 2026 - Our Promise to you !

At SSA, we believe that every child in Pembrokeshire should have access to quality football opportunities throughout the summer holidays. Our mission is simple: to make football accessible, affordable, and available to all players, regardless of their background or circumstances.

We recognise the importance of keeping young people active, engaged, and connected to the game during the summer months. Football provides far more than just physical activity; it develops confidence, friendships, teamwork, and a lifelong love of sport.

The SSA Summer of Football has been created to ensure that families can access high-quality football experiences without facing excessive costs. We are committed to providing a summer programme that offers outstanding value while maintaining the highest standards of coaching and player development.

Through a range of football camps, technical development days, gladiator challenges, tournaments, and football festivals, players will have the opportunity to continue their development, enjoy the game, and create lasting memories throughout the summer.

To support our commitment to affordability and accessibility, every event within the SSA Summer of Football programme will be available for just £20 per day, allowing players the flexibility to attend any day and every day across the summer.

This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to providing football opportunities for all and ensuring that every player in Pembrokeshire has the chance to remain active, continue developing, and enjoy the game they love throughout the holiday period.
