Under 18
Next step
Under-18 team and first-team training sessions.
Women's and girls' football
The women’s first team plays in the regional league; the development squad trains with them on Monday nights. Girls play in the academy teams up to under 12, then in our girls’ under-14 and under-16 teams.
Walking football
For anyone over 50 who misses the game. Walking pace, no contact, a cup of tea afterwards. Turn up on Sunday at 10:00; the first session is free.
Sessions $4 each (example prices).
Questions from parents
What age can my child start?
From six. Children aged 6 and 7 play mini soccer in small groups; nobody keeps score.
How much does the academy cost?
Monthly subs are $25 per player, with kit included in the first year (example prices). Ask the academy lead about help with costs.
Does my child need to be good already?
No. Coaches group players by age and confidence, and every child gets the same time on the ball.
Who looks after safeguarding?
Our welfare officer (sample). Every coach and volunteer working with children has a background check.
Come to a trial session
Tuesdays at 17:30 for ages 6 to 15, open trials for adults every July. Bring boots, shin pads and water.
