FOOTBALL IN NORTH BADDESLEY This local Club has been established for 13 years. Our main aim has always been to encourage schoolchildren from 5/6 year olds in their development of football skills whilst enjoying the game. Baddesley Park FC is a Charter Status Football Club. This honour is bestowed by the FA. This is awarded to clubs which are organised with a committee and its members adhering to constitutions, rules and policies. The club is still growing in size, with over 160 children currently affiliated to the club. This season we have four teams playing in the Eastleigh & District Mini Soccer League and six teams in the Southampton Tyro League. We also have an U18's side in the Southampton Youth League. Our youngest children are 5/6 year olds training at the U7's level. The new Sports Pavillion at North Baddesley Recreation Ground is our home ground. Many teams train here on Saturdays under the supervision of coaches who have all completed at least a Level 1 Coaching Badge. The club also has established links with Southampton Football Club who offer training sessions to the club particularly in holiday term breaks. Due to our growing success in size we are always looking for more players of all ages from 5 - 18 year olds. Continued sponsorship is always needed to help pay for new football kits and equipment for the children, so if anyone can help please let us know.
