Under 10's Blue MANAGER
Well where do I start , in a house full of football mad boys I either got involved or got left in the cold, I never thought of myself as a football mum let alone a coach , my sons first match at under 7s and I was hooked I got the football bug didn't miss a game , fast forward a few years and I become club welfare officer for my sons club , me and my husband then decided to set up a club after being asked to my sons then manager , a season in and I kind of got nominated to coach the under 7s It was hard work and a huge learning curve but I wouldn't change it at all , to see all those players out there with a smile on their face makes if all worth while

Under 10's Yellow Manager
I love every aspect of football, especially the mental release it gives you, but you cant beat a smile of a child living their best life on a football pitch.
Chris Steel
Under 11's MANAGER
I started playing football at 7 years old, playing for my primary school team and Woodhallwonders right up until under 18s, I then went and played for Gossomsend for 3 years but then moved to play with my friends for Jam united up until I was 30.
I also represented the district & county.
I then decided to hang up my boots to watch my son play, I watched his first year as a parent but my wife and the chairman twisted my arm to be his number two, however a few weeks in I found myself stepping into the manager role, as the chairman had to manage another team.
I enjoy teaching the boys skills and supporting them with their personal growth, I also like watching them take all their knowledge from training and show it in the game along with their skills.
If you ask any of my parents they will tell you I am very passionate about the game and seeing the players develop.

Chairman/ U16's Blue manager
My journey Into football was like many others, I was happy watching my son when I was approached to help out. Which I was more than happy to do. Fast forward 7 years and I'm still here managing an under 11s & under 14s team. My personal aim is to get all players enjoying their football, whilst learning and improving at the same time.
