Team Biography
Our U6s and 7s in both Andover and Basingstoke are currently in their early development phase, making new friends, learning basic skills, understanding basic rules and falling in love with the game. We would normally continue to train and play friendly fixtures until the new year when we will then enter the league and start to play arranged fixtures on a weekly basis.
With Covid and lockdown this has delayed for this season.
We have had much success with this format. Players will have opportunity to progress through the club to play regular local football at ShootersFC, progress to compete in the Junior Premier League (JPL) with our partner club SOCCA or if at the level progress to a Professional academy. As a club we actively encourage children to 'give it a go' when invited to professional clubs and with our experience try to support both the player and the parents during this opportunity.
