Friendlies this season |
Even if you just want to come along and train that will be fine. All training takes place mid-week in the evenings. We play 5-a-side and 7-a-side league games for mini football with 9-a-side and 11-a-side Youth footall in the Yeovil and Somerset league.
We now have the use of the excellent facilities offered at both the Wincanton Sports Centre for Winter Training & Wincanton Sports Ground, Moor Lane. Training takes place nearly every day of the week with different ages meeting on different nights/mornings. The training is fun and based on you gaining confidence playing football and simply enjoying it!
You can join mid-way through the season, by paying the annual membership fee and then just paying the per session/match fee as and when you turn up. There is now discounted pricing for non-playing members and for multiple players from the same family. Why not give it a go, you will enjoy it, honest!

What is Mini Soccer? In 1999 Mini-soccer was implemented as the form of football for Children Under 10 years of age. Girls and boys are introduced to the game on smaller pitches, smaller goals and with fewer players. The aim is to provide a quality experience for all players at all levels. The Football Association deem Mini-soccer as the most appropriate and fun introduction to football. It allows greater involvement in the game, with more touches on the ball, dribbles and passes.
Note that youth football format changed in the 2013/2014 season. See the FA Website for details. |  |
End of Season Presentation and Awards Once our football season has come to an end, we hold an Award Presentation Evening where individuals and teams are recognised.
