Ferndown/Bournemouth/Poole area youth football team for under 7s/8s

[mdearlove]

Anyone recommend a youth team for my son to join? We are moving from Dunstable down to Ferndown and he wants to find a new team. He is currently training with Luton Towns academy and although is an under 7 is playing in an under 8 league.

 

Cheers

Don't know the area but a good place to start is the FA website. There is a find a club function that will give you club names and contact details for all clubs with a selected distance from your chosen post code. You should be alright with any Charter standard club.

If he was with Luton Towns academy I would try and get in contact with Matty Holmes, who runs football out of Ferndown Leisure Centre and is something to do with Bournemouth's acdemy as well.

 

Failing that, Tony Funnel runs the nippers for Poole Bourough but it's at Carter school, which is quite a way from there. My nipper plays for one of Wimborne sides and they're pretty decent, but I dont know what the younger age groups are like.Poole Town also have a lot of youth sides, but I'm not sure how conected they are to the club.

 

If I was you I would ring Ferndown Leisure Centre and try and get a number for Matty Holmes.

 

Good luck with the move, you've chosen a nice area move to.

Thanks, have emailed Matty Holmes. The lads have a Spuds scout coming to watch them this weekend so should be interesting.

 

Looking forward to moving down - assuming all goes to plan with the purchase!
