From September 2024 our training structure is changing.  At the start of the season each player will be allocated to a training group appropriate to their age and ability level.  Groups will be limited to 20-25 players and will have an allocated coach and assistant coach overseeing training for the duration of the season.  Each group will train on their own pitch each week to maintain consistency and will follow a bespoke programme commensurate with their ability.  Training will occur three weeks out of every four, with the fourth week set aside for the Onside League 'Match Day' (full details below). 

We are making this adjustment to give all of our players as much opportunity to develop as possible.  Having training sessions with mixed age groups and levels of ability carries the risk that some players dominate the game whilst others barely touch the ball.  Training with players  of a similar age and standard, on the other hand,  reduces this problem and creates a much more level playing field for everyone.  Tp participate in Sunday training all players MUST be pre-registered for the season ahead by filling in the appropriate form here.  In the event of becoming oversubscribed we will create a waiting list and you will be notified in due course if a space becomes available.  

We would ask that all players registering with us attend as many training sessions as possible.  Onside Soccer is extremely popular and we want as to ensure that everyone get a chance to participate, but we do have a limited capacity.  If you register to attend and then consistently miss training you are denying someone else a chance to take part so please think carefully before signing your child up.  Players consistently missing training will be removed from our programme and their place given to the next person on our waiting list.
