Local Football Clubs for Kids - HELP!!!

[dimjim79]

Hi,

We have 2 kids (boy aged 7, girl aged 9) who are increasingly football mad. They've both been told at school that they are showing real potential and they should go to a local club.

I'm a bit stuck as to what to do to be honest. I've heard athenlay is good but the information online is quite limited. Same for Dulwich hamlet (is this the same as village etc) and Peckham town.

Any help, contacts or insights would be welcomed, keen to embrace their passion whilst it's there!

Many thanks!

JP

Dulwich Village FC is different from Dulwich Hamlet. Its website is at https://www.dulwichvillagefc.co.uk/, looks as though trials for next season?s teams are in June and you need to register for them. They are linked to a separate coaching operation called Football Magic which runs weekly sessions, holiday sessions etc - see https://www.footballmagiccoaching.co.uk/.

They run a lot of teams. My son played there for a number of years and it was pretty well run - but that was a few years ago and I don?t have up to date info. They definitely have girls teams.

The Dulwich hamlet site is https://dulwichhamletjuniorfc.co.uk/ - looks like fewer teams.

Girls United is a local girls club worth a look https://www.girlsunitedfa.org/london-club#londonclub-sessions
