SALISBURY FC YOUTH
Inaugural Girls Football Tournament a Resounding Success!
Sun, Sweat and Smiles as 43 Teams Battle it out at Raymac Stadium
In glorious sunshine, 43 girls' teams from Under-9 to Under-16 age groups converged on Raymac Stadium on Sunday, 12th May for the inaugural Salisbury FC Youth Girls Football Tournament.
With four pitches in play, there was a constant buzz of activity as the young footballers showcased their skills and determination in a series of exciting matches. The atmosphere was electric, with parents, coaches and supporters cheering on their teams from the sidelines. Many took advantage of the hot weather to enjoy ice creams and refreshments, making it a real family fun day.
The Salisbury FC Youth Girls Football Tournament was a resounding success, and organisers are already looking forward to welcoming even more teams next year.

OPEN TRAINING SESSIONS FOR NEXT SEASON'S U11
We are increasing our squad for next season!
The current season is coming to an end but we are already preparing for the next one. Our current U10 will move to 9 a side football in September and therefore we need to few more players for our squads. We have three teams in this age group who play in different leagues. Contact Ed if you are going to be U11 (school year 6) in September and are looking for a great football team.
A Day on a Salisbury FC youth tour
It was the first proper weekend of the new season with all 25 teams in action and we decided to take a look at some of our up-and-coming stars.
We started the day checking in at Gangers farm (very nice, brand new facilities) to watch the U8 Storm team. A great game with goals galore swung one way and then the other and back again. The young Whites side showed real signs of progress since we last saw them win the Ray Mac tournament in May. There were some cracking goals from individual players but most impressive was the great team play in a game that was played in a wonderful spirit by both sides. The opposition goalie had a game to remember and was outstanding for such a young man.
At the opposite end of the youth age spectrum next up were the U16 boys v AFC Totton at Wellow. A 2-0 win for the Whites (first team supporters will recognize this as a common scoreline in this contest 😉) was about right for on the day but more importantly a great team spirit was clearly evident to see. My eyes on this one where firmly looking for what we can expect in the next crop of U18’s and ultimately the development squad in the next couple of years. I am glad to say, there is plenty to look forward to in the future in this bunch of players.

Thank you to all our hard working volunteer coaches
Every single one of our managers and coaches is a 100% volunteer. The vast majority of them got into coaching through their own children playing for Salisbury. Most of them started helping out as a parent and were eventually persuaded to take their coaching badges. As a Charter Standard club we pride ourselves that all our coaching staff are DBS checked and trained in Safeguarding Children and First Aid and they all hold a minimum of a Level 1 Coaching Qualification. Many of them are Level 2 or 3 and have further youth football qualifications. The one thing they all have in common is a passion for football and a passion for working with young players. Watching a young player grow his or her ability, confidence, social skills and the pure enjoyment of the game, is all the satisfaction our coaches require in return for their efforts.
