Our Story
|
From its humble beginnings in 2016, Forestdale Football Club has blossomed into a thriving community. What started with just three teams, U8 to U10 playing in the local park has now evolved into a powerhouse with 22 teams spanning U6 to U18. This growth is a testament to the club's dedication and the potential it holds for every young player.
Every week, over 250 young players train and play at our home ground in New Addington, Croydon. Along with the surge in ambitious players comes a fortress of support—a brilliant team of coaches and committee members. They stand committed to nurturing talent and guide the club's upward trajectory. Within the club, just under 30 football coaches bring a diverse wealth of expertise to the field, each one inspiring our players to pursue excellence relentlessly. Our coaching team are committed to guiding our players to not just become athletes but shining embodiments of the club's ethos: train diligently, evolve continuously, and aspire to reach your full potential. |
