 About the club and how we operate

We are a community club, run entirely by parent volunteers, so football is affordable and accessible for all. We are an FA Charter Standard Club, England Football 2-star accredited and all of our coaches are at least FA Level 1 qualified. It's a great club to play for, affordable, and your child will get lots of playing time as we generally have smaller squad sizes.

Boys football 
Boys in Reception and Year 1 may join Mini Moles boys. Towards the end of the season in Year 1, boys who are keen to continue playing for the club are then put into teams, generally in similar ability groups. If a child wants to join once they're already in Year 2 or Year 3, it can be difficult as there's unlikely to be much movement within a season (i.e. most of the boys in a team stay in that team for the whole year unless they leave the club, or move away). 

Therefore, most of the older teams will have been together since a young age. However, there is a need to take on new players every 2 years as the team size expands. So there will be opportunities for boys to join at the end of Year 3, end of Year 5 and end of Year 7 and we will advertise this on our website at the appropriate times.

Girls Football
Girls in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 may join Mini Moles Girls. In the 2023-24 season we have U7, U8, U9, U11 and U18 Girls teams, and are keen to start up even more! If you'd like your child to play and could volunteer some time we would be happy to help get a team up and running. We will support you all the way through to gaining your F.A. Level 1 Coaching badge. 

Joining a Team
We have grown from 27 teams in 22-23, to 35 teams for the 2023-24 season, but despite this we are still highly oversubscribed at nearly all age groups and have to operate a waiting list. The reality is, your child is unlikely to gain a place, especially between U7-U11, unless you, or another parent, steps up and offers to coach a team. 

Volunteering
Please consider volunteering. First and foremost, it's hugely beneficial to your relationship with your own child, as they see you investing in them and getting involved in their life on a regular basis. You're also giving something very valuable to the local community and some of the kids you coach now will remember you for life! Football experience/ knowledge is useful, but we do provide training and mentoring and, especially at Mini Moles, enthusiasm is more important at this stage. This isn't just for the Dads, so Mums please step forward too! 

Mini Moles
Mini Moles and Mini Moles girls can usually accept players throughout the season, until limits are reached. Click here for more information. 

The Waiting List
Children will be added to the waiting list in the order the enquiry was received. When coaches need new players, they will contact you to come along and trial for a team.  Children who live in Molesey will be given preference above children not living in the area.

After this, children will be invited to trial in the order the enquiry was received. 

At the end of each season the waiting list will be cleared and started again in September.
