Youth Clubs
TS VALIANT, ROLLE QUAY, BARNSTAPLE, DEVON, EX31 1JE
They are Barnstaple Sea Cadets and part of the UK's largest maritime youth charity. Cadets go to sea, learn to sail and do adventure training, all on a nautical theme, plus get extra skills to give them a head start in life. TS Valiant has been in Barnstaple since 1946. They are currently located in the Sea Cadet hut at the end of Rolle Quay, next to the River Yeo (It's the place with all the sailing dinghies in it). Hundreds, if not thousands of Barnstaple people have been in Barnstaple Sea Cadets over the years. They have the Rivers Taw and Yeo right next to the unit and can regularly be seen boating on the River. They have an active Field Gun crew, who can be seen at many fetes across North Devon. They are an active unit who do all sorts of events from the Carnival to County parades.

Barnstaple Youth Football Club are one of just ten clubs in the county to have achieved, and maintained, the prestigious and much envied status of FA Charter Standard Club. The Football Association Charter Standard Programme assesses the ability of clubs to provide high quality, safe and enjoyable football experience against high standards of criteria. The standard encourages clubs to continuously develop through on going support from the county FA staff, whose responsibility it is, to review on-going development as part of on-going health checks. The introduction of a Child Protection Policy should be seen as a clear signal that this Association is determined to ensure all necessary steps are taken to protect those children and young people who participate in youth football within all age groups. This local group meet regularly and offer children of all different ages the chance to train and play in a team sport either for fun or as a regular in a league team.
