We now have teams representing us from Under 8's through to the Veterans team. Our hugely popular junior set up has seen more than one team representing each age group in our junior sections and our sunday morning Soccer School has been a huge success for the under 8's who are keen to play football but are too young to play in competitive games.

Our Charter Standard Community Club status ensures both the children and the parents that their best interests are looked after all of the time that they are with us. Our coaches must have police CRB checks together with first aid qualifications and must have at least an FA Club Coach qualification. Having said that, this doesn't mean that we're a closed shop, the proliferation of junior teams means that we are constantly searching for volunteers to help as well as coaches. In fact, if you are keen to help then we would love to hear from you & if you don't have the qualifications, we can provide assistance for you to help you to gain the required certification. Here are a few of the objectives that are set out in the FA Charter Standard Programme:-

The FA Charter Standard Clubs programme, supported by FA Community Partner McDonald's, was launched in February 2001
