Mini Football
Mini Football at Egerton FC
Saturday Club (which is what we call our football coaching for U5s to U8s, as our training is always on Saturdays) is the beginning of the Foundation Phase at Egerton and is built upon a relaxed and fun environment for anyone to participate and develop their love for the game. All our Mini Football training sessions for Saturday Club take place on the 3G all-weather pitches (no metal studs allowed).
Update Sept 2024
All our Saturday Club age groups are extremely popular and we are currently running waiting lists for new joiners at U5s year group (Reception year at school). We currently have spaces in our U6s (Yr1), U7s (Yr 2) and U8s (Yr 3) year groups.
If you are interested in signing your child up, we will be running a taster session every half term, where you can try out our training. Dates for the taster sessions for 24/25 will be released soon.
If you wish to attend one of these taster sessions, a place needs to be booked via Kayla Sellors . This is important for us to be able to manage numbers – please don’t turn up without a booking, or on any other dates.
Training groups for Mini Football
U5s
Players can begin their journey from 4-years old in the Under 5’s group whereby children have the opportunity to be confident in the new environment, develop technical skills and play with freedom and a smile on their face.
Registrations for Saturday Club U5-U8 are now open, although we are full at U5s with a waiting list in place.
Please email Kayla to register your interest or for a place on the waiting list

U8s
For all our players at Under 8, we aim to further develop and enhance the skills that players have acquired throughout their early Saturday Club training.
Our development squad is coached in a variety of technical and physical topics dependent upon the needs of the age groups.
We still encourage a lot of time with the ball and as young children are egocentric, we will encourage individual techniques before team understanding. It’s all about FUN so many simplified games will be played.
Our Under 8 teams aren’t entered in ANY leagues as we do not consider that to be beneficial to their development – we focus our squad sessions around football contact time in preparation for the transition to league games in U9s.
Membership of the U8s team is £300 per year, inclusive of all training /coaching sessions and games.
Yellow home kits can be purchased from our club shop – to request a number please contact Kayla Sellors – for full details see the ‘Order Kit‘ page.
