Club sessions
We believe we have created a unique, diverse, vibrant, dynamic and questioning coaching culture. Our mission is to create the best environment we can for all children.
The sessions will be led by our Head coach, UEFA B' Licensed and FA Youth Award holder, David Podger. He is supported by a dedicated team of DBS checked, FA qualified coaches who have FA Safeguarding and FA Emergency Aid Cerificates, This includes our enthusiastic young coaches from Solent University's Football Studies course. In turn, they are supported by our DBS-checked volunteers.
If you are coming to the sessions, please download and complete a session form here. Everyone who attends must complete a form whether or not you wish to become a member of the club.
Just contact us if you are interested in joining salisburyroversfc@outlook.com or 07543654971.

PAYMENT
All existing players must pay their £10 season registration fee by 1 August.
Club membership is £15 every month by standing order with the first payment of £15 per month to be received by 1 September.
The registration fee helps with club's financial planning for the year. Sessions are then paid for month to month - see the payment schedule above which includes details of our sibling discount.
Payment should be made by online banking. Details are:
Account name: Salisbury RoversFC
Account number:59774468
Sort code:30-97-41
Please remember we are always happy to discuss costs confidentially if finances are an issue.
New players may attend one session as a free 'taster session'. before paying registration and standing order fees.
We offer a sibling discount on the fees so that monthly payments are then £12 rather than £15 for additional children.
What the children need to bring
It would be great if you could encourage the kids to think about what they might need for their session. We think this should include:
- A water bottle.
- Sports wear - anything suitable and comfy. It doesn't have to be the latest kit!
- Shin pads - you can usually pick these up for a couple of pounds from sports shops but let us know if you are stuck as we have a couple of spares sets.
- Boots if the ground is muddy. We have some spare boots so let us know if you are stuck.
How we coach
We have a very clear and specific way of coaching.
We do not have kids standing being lectured at by coaches or waiitng for a turn of the ball. Nor do we constantly direct play, telling children how and what to do on the ball.
Our coaching philosophy draws from the most progressive practice in the game including the FA's 'England's DNA'.
Our session plans are always available and we welcome your questions on how we deliver..
Our current curriculum is available here.

Teams and matches
In the 2017-18 season, we will be following a new development plan.
We will not be entering teams in leagues but will be offering a bespoke programme of matches and other football events to provide the best possible development football experience to as many kids as possible.
Our matches will be played at a central venue where teams can play on the same day on the same pitch under the same conditions. Our match day environment standards are set out here.
We guarantee equal playing time for all. At grassroots level, we see no evidence supporting the trialing of young children or the selection of 'A' teams. This does not benefit kids or youth sport. Instead, it has been said to turn "the focus of youth sports away from the priorities and needs of children, and towards the values of adults." We think this is bad news for everyone and for football!
So are teams are never 'full' and we don't allow 'bench warming'! It's very simple - if your child wants to play football, we want them!

Sponsorship opportunities!
One of our core aims is to run an inclusive club where no child is 'priced out' of football.
To ensure this happens, we'd love to discuss sponsorship opportunities with you! We very much want to work with local businesses to make sure our club stays community focussed. We are very proud of our Salisbury roots and want to include kids from all over the city!
Our aim is to provide safe, fun, affordable, accessible football to all kids. Football is our national game and we want to encourage all kids to play it and love it while staying healthy and active. We aim to help kids reach their potential by developing their footballing skills and abilities and ensuring that talent pathways are available to them as they progress. But we also want to provide opportunities for kids to make friends in a safe space where they feel their ideas and opinions genuinely matter. We want the kids to feel part of their community - this club is their club.
Sponsorship opportunities come in all shapes and sizes and it really doesn't have to cost the earth. For example, we will offer:
We are also open to discussing partial funding of any of the above. All sponsors will be listed on our website, Facebook page and in our annual reports. We are also very active on social media.
