Playing football with Old Actonians
Saturdays
We train every Saturday, from the start of September to the end of June.
Our younger teams, U7-U11, train on astroturf at our home ground of Boddington Gardens, from 0900-1130.
Our older teams, U12-U14, train on the astroturf pitches at Gunnersbury Park between 0830 and 12 noon.
Training approach
Our coaches are fully qualified and focus on building confidence in every player, both in their own skills and as part of a team. Through fun exercises and drills, we teach them how to work together, communicate, and support each other so they can play their best on the field. These skills are also valuable for other aspects of their lives.
Football for all
We welcome girls and boys to train with Old Actonians YFC, and cater for those who just want to train or who aren’t yet ready to play in matches. We also have a very successful sister club, Actonians Girls Wildcats, for girls who’d prefer a female only environment.
Matches
Children can play in matches from age 6, and we have a range of teams from U7 to U14 who play matches on Sundays. We always try to ensure our teams are matched against teams of similar ability, so the matches are competitive and developmental.
Safe environment
Your child’s safety is our top priority. All our coaches are trained in child protection, first aid, and have passed full background checks. We make sure every session is safe, professional, and caring. This means your child can learn and enjoy football in a safe and supportive environment.
