For Young Footballers
Our fun football sessions for young footballers run every Saturday at the Memorial Ground, Southwell. These sessions are run by our partner, Canoville Coaching. This local coaching company was founded by Lee Canoville, a former professional footballer with over 200 games played for teams including Arsenal, Northampton Town, Torquay United and Notts County.
Training take place every Saturday at 9.00am and costs £5 per session. If your child is looking to play for a Southwell City team, these sessions are the starting point.
Due to high demand, we ask that all bookings are made in advance on a week-to-week basis. You can book a number of weeks ahead if this works for you. Payment is taken at the end of each month by direct debit for the number of sessions attended.
Please book one or more sessions using the form below. If you child is attending for the first time, you will then be sent an email to register your child’s details with the club and to confirm the booking and payment.

Southwell City Under 10 Girls have made a winning start to the 2022/23 season. After forming 2 years ago, the girls have enjoyed a successful start to their football careers with a 2021/22 season that culminated in two trophies. Winning the Forest Town Arena SD Events tournament in Mansfield and also the Mansfield Society of Referees Tournament, both in June 2022. Further highlights of the season included reaching the semi-final of the Newark Town FC Annual Tournament and the semi-final of the League Cup.
Coach Danny Weiss said ‘It has been great to see so many girls enjoying the great game of football in the Southwell area, the girls are going from strength to strength as they form a real team bond, I’m immensely proud to see their development, skill levels and sheer determination growing every week, I can’t wait to see where they go in the future”
He added, “We have been lucky to continue their development with the help of our sponsors Dewey Group and Aero EV Solutions, who have helped support the team, their ongoing support is invaluable and we are very grateful”

This season, all junior players will again receive a free Southwell City water bottle when they register for the club for the 2022/23 campaign. We are all well aware of the environmental damage of single-use plastic bottles and we will be encouraging all players to regularly use the new bottles, helping us to dramatically reduce plastic waste and litter on match days.
Managers can pick up bottles from the Memorial Ground Clubhouse at weekends. Please use the form below to book and pick up and allow 24 hours, if possible, for your order to be prepared. Each team will receive enough bottles for their whole team (based on players registered on LoveAdmin)
Times are tough right now. We are all facing unprecedented cost rises, whether it be food prices, utility bills or the cost of materials, and these continue to impact the football club as they do each individual.
However, the football club committee has agreed that for the new 2022/23 season, we’re going to keep monthly subs flat. Despite all of the pressures we’re facing, and including further improvements to both of our grounds to follow, as a community club, we want to do what we can to help.
As promised earlier this year, we are now offering free Chips Cobs at the Memorial Ground Clubhouse as an after-match treat for all Southwell City players.
Primarily we think that this will appeal to younger players, so apologies for any older ones that play at Brinkley and might feel left out (something for the future maybe …)
Managers should use the booking form for orders which must be placed before 9.00 am on the Wednesday before each weekend’s games, allowing Emily time to order sufficient stock.
The Chip booking form will be made available every Sunday at 6 pm. It will close at 9.00 am the following Wednesday. Chip bookings will need to be made during that period for games on the following Saturday or Sunday. Please make sure you book during this period, to avoid disappointment, as later bookings will not be possible

Food and refreshments are provided to those who volunteer, as well as free admission to all home fixtures.
Interested? Email the club for further information, [email protected]
Thanks to Hope & Glory Sportswear for supplying them. Our special shirt promotes Enlighten The Shadows, a local charity supporting mens mental health.

Southwell City FC Under 15 girls have recently acquired new shirts to be used for training and as an away kit in support of Prostate Cancer UK.
The shirts were partly funded by a sponsored bag-pack the girls undertook at Morrisons in Newark, along with contributions from his family in memory of Colin Barnes, a grandfather of one of the team, who was taken prematurely by this insidious disease.
It is hoped that fathers, uncles, grandfathers and anyone else seeing the Prostate Cancer logo on their shirts might be motivated into finding out how to spot the early signs of the illness that might ultimately save their lives. More information can be found by visiting https://prostatecanceruk.org/ where those interested in supporting the ongoing battle against this illness can make a donation.
1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, it’s the second most common diagnosed cancer with the disease being the 5th highest cause of cancer related death in men. If you would like to make a donation, please make it in memory of Colin Barnes so that Prostate Cancer UK can gauge the impact wearing the shirts has had.
The team are in the process of procuring a new home kit, thanks to the generosity of their new sponsor, Buckley Brown Estate Agents from Mansfield, which will display the Prostate Cancer UK logo on its sleeve for even greater exposure of the organisation and the valuable work they do.

Southwell City U9 Boys are pleased to announce a new sponsor, a new kit, and a re-brand for next season! The team have just completed a fantastic season – which included winning the Ruddington Colts summer tournament and finishing runners-up in the YEL Winter League – and with a new kit now in place they’re delighted to announce ‘7Hz Audio’ as their new sponsor. 7Hz Audio is a Music Production Studio in Bleasby, managed by Tristan Hall, with Tristan saying “7Hz Audio are super proud to be sponsoring the U9’s team. Having lived and worked in Southwell for many years we are more than happy to help the youngsters of our community. We wish them well for the next season”.
Over the summer the U9’s ‘Stars’ will become the U10’s ‘Falcons’ in time for the start of the new season in September. Currently there are over 20 boys for one 7-a-side team and the club is currently looking for a manager for a second team so more boys can play competitive football next season. If you are interested in managing a new team please contact Adrian Purdy at SCFC.
