About Us

Who are we? and what we do?

TPFA welcomes all players aged between 5 and 15 years old, regardless of ability or gender. All of our sessions and carefully planned and focus on developing skill and technique, as well as encouraging teamwork and building confidence. TPFA has also developed an excellent relationship with Bristol Rovers Football Club. These links mean that the Bristol Rovers Centre of Excellence are allowed to take players they deem good enough to make an impact in their youth teams on trial. This gives the players fantastic opportunities to prove themselves against the best in Bristol.
