Our Soccer School is our football development centre for children from the ages
of 5 to 11, both new to the game or a member of an existing team . 

​

The sessions take place on the all-weather pitch at Epping St John's School 

and is run by our Head of Football in conjunction with outside professional
coaches from M.R.F.A. who both coach the players and help develop our
coaches. Our aim is to provide first class training, spread good practice
around the club and create a fun and rewarding experience for the players.

​

The Soccer School acts as a springboard to launch new teams along with
integrating older players into our existing teams to play Sunday grassroots
league football - see below or our Teams page.

Playing in a team at Epping TOWN FC

​

For those looking to play league football, Epping Town fields teams in the

Essex Girls, Echo and BCFA leagues.

 

All football below U12 is "non competitive". This does not mean that we do not play to win, it simply means that winning at any cost is not the primary objective. At Epping, football has to be fun, played in the right spirit and played as a team.

 

Grassroots youth football starts at U7 - no player can play in a league until they
reach their 6th birthday

U7 and U8 play 5v5 - our pitches are at Epping St John's School and Epping Green

​U9 and U10 play 7v7 - our pitches are at Stonards Recreation Ground and Epping St John's School,,  Epping

​U11 and U12 play 9v9 - our pitches are at Epping Green, Frampton Road and Epping St John's School

U13 play 11v11 - our pitch is at Memorial Playing Fields, North Weald

​U14 - U18 play 11v11 - our pitches are at Stonards Recreation Ground and Epping St John's Schoog

​

All players are affiliated to the FA via their League registration 

​

All parents sign up to agree to the FA Respect policy as part of our Player Registration forms.

All teams at Epping Town Football Club are managed by FA-qualified coaches who hold a current DBS certificate.
