What We Offer

The primary goal of our club is to develop our members. All of our members, regardless of ability, team or age group follow a progressive development plan which enables every child to enhance their skills and understanding of the game regardless of their starting point. Every month there is a theme and this is explored with increasing depth each week. Over the course of the season topics are re-visited and again expanded upon allowing the children to consolidate learning.

We compete in the Cambridgeshire Mini Soccer League, Cambridge & District Colts League and the Alan Boswell Group Cambridgeshire Girls and Women's Football League from September - May. Because matches are held on Saturday mornings, team training takes place mid-week.

We endeavour to find a place in a team for any person (U8 upwards) wishing to join us and will create additional teams and age groups providing there are sufficient numbers and volunteers can be identified to manage those teams on match day.

We are inclusive of everyone regardless of ability, but tier our teams to provide an appropriate level of challenge to support everyones development. Our teams are formed by our independent coaches from Over & In Football so that the development of the child is foremost. We are an equal opportunity club and so new members have equal chance of being in any team as returning members.

As a member of our teams we actively encourage players to rotate playing positions in our younger squads. We believe that in order to have a good understanding of the game it is vital to have an appreciation of every position and what better way to do this than to have the opportunity to play in that position! This means that everyone has the opportunity to be striker and no-one is ever stuck in a position they don't want to be in… we want everyone to enjoy themselves after all!

Mid-season the Head Coach meets with all team Managers to discuss every child’s progress and team capabilities. Every child receives a confidential Mid- and End of Season Report to aid their development.

We hold Recruitment Days in April each year to determine teams for the following season. The FA deadline to register our teams is 1st July.

Our inclusion sessions welcome anyone with Physical And Neurological disabilities, Special Educational Needs or Global Developmental Delay. Our fully qualified coaches deliver these sessions in a fun and safe environment where young players are encouraged to reach their own potential and socialise with other children - and parents can join our Parental Support Network, too.

We are proud to be working with the F.A, to support and provide a Disability Pathway for young people with additional requirements, giving access to football for all.

Every team has a volunteer Manager and Assistant Manager, often a parent. We establish a close working relationship between our Managers and coaches so that they can also enhance their expertise. Coaches ensure Managers understand the focus of training and Managers provide weekly feedback to coaches regarding matches.

We encourage and provide numerous opportunities for our managers to develop and at minimum cover the costs of our Managers to complete their Level 1 FA Coaching Qualification.
