Banbury United offers a range of community football activities to local children, aged four to 14, in school term time, in the evenings and at weekends. We are based both at our own stadium and at indoor and outdoor local sporting facilities. Our current programmes are Mini Reds, Wildcats, Football School and Squad Girls.

Mini Reds

UPDATE AS OF MARCH 2024 - WE ARE CURRENTLY REVAMPING MINI RED AND WILL BE BACK WITH MORE NEWS SHORTLY.

Weetabix Wildcats

Thursdays 17:00-18:00, for girls aged 7-11 at North Oxfordshire Academy – £2 per session. Just turn up.

Wildcats is a fun way for girls 5-11 to get involved with football from an early age. It’s non-competitive football for girls who want to give it a go for the very first time or want to play with other girls their own age. Most importantly, Weetabix Wildcats is all about having loads of fun and meeting new amazing friends.

More information about Wildcats can be found on the England Football website, here.

Football School

Football School is for young people aged 6-11 who want to play to develop skills and take part in training and full games. It starts on February 28th 2024 and is every Wednesday between 5-6pm at the North Oxfordshire Academy Astro Turf.

Sessions cost just £2, with training and full games involved, in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Just turn up and pay on the day.

Squad Girls

Mondays 17:00-18:00, for girls aged 12-14 at the North Oxfordshire Academy – free of charge thanks to funding from The National League Trust. Coach: Banbury United’s women’s coach, Mark Andrews. Just turn up.

Squad Girls’ Football sessions are ideal for girls who are keen to kickstart or continue their football journey. They are a fun, non-competitive way to play football locally with friends, old and new. Whether you’re completely new to the sport, are looking to transition from Weetabix Wildcats, or simply want to give it a go, Squad Girls’ Football is designed to help develop skills and build confidence, whilst encouraging girls to play their way.

More information about Squad Girls can be found on the England Football website, here.

If you plan to participate in any of these sessions, it is essential that you follow and regularly check Banbury United’s community Facebook page and website for changes to planned sessions due to pitch availability, weather or instructor sickness etc.
