We have grown from 20 children in Sept'04 to currently having registered over 120 children and run one U7 squad, one U8 squad, one U9 squad, two U10 squads, two U11 squads, an U12 squad and an U13 squad. We also run the Football Fun Factory for reception year players that are too young for our playing squads but still wish to benefit from FA qualified coaching.
