For anyone in reception and year 1 from Sept 1st 2023, we run a 45 minute training session every Saturday morning in term time from 9.30am at Baunton Lane Playing Fields. The minis are unable to participate in formal league games but we aim to teach them the basics while they have fun. Our ‘minis‘ are led by Scott Burry. Scott is a well-known, and highly qualified, sports coach who has lived in and around the Cirencester area most of his life. Scott has agreed to support the minis over the season and will be assisted by some of our older players, which will give them experience of providing football training to youngsters. Scott is a UEFA B football coach and has worked for the Football Association (FA) in a mentoring and tutoring capacity. He has also acted as the Southampton FC’s U7s Development Centre Coach and is the Lead PE teacher at Powells School so we could not have a better person for this role. Over the course the season we will identify a parent/s to take on the team once they reach the point of league matches in the U7s category (Sept 2024).

The first session is free but, after this, we will then ask you to register your child with the club. The cost of membership is £75 for the season and will include all training sessions. Please note that football boots and shin pads will not be compulsory at the first session, but we would expect them to have these at any further training. We ask for details of medical conditions at the point of registration but if we need to be aware of anything connected to the health of your child please let us know before their first session. At least one parent should be in attendance during all training sessions. Our parent handbook is at https://www.strattonyfc.co.uk/news/club-handbook--2324-2714480.html.

Open to boys and girls please go to our contact page to get in touch with Scott and book your child in.
