⚽ PLAYERS WANTED — BETTESHANGER FC U14s

A place in the team — not just the squad.

We’re looking to add players to our U14s squad for the 2026/27 season.

We’re building a tight, competitive group rather than an oversized squad. Anyone joining us won’t simply be there to make up the numbers — they’ll have a real opportunity to train, compete, develop and play.

Our aim is to develop confident, intelligent players who are brave on the ball, trust their own decisions and understand that mistakes are part of improving.

If your child is ready for a fresh challenge, wants more opportunity or simply wants to enjoy their football again, we would love to invite them along to meet the coaches and train with the team.

🔴⚫ All positions considered
⚽ Division One football
🤝 No pressure and no obligation
📩 Message the club page or contact us on 07714 573198

Please share — the right opportunity might reach the right player because of you.

Incredible proud to see our U10 Wildcats play their first game today! Well done girls - you’re all superstars!

⚽️ SATURDAY FOOTBALL AT THE WELFARE GROUND ⚽️

Another busy Saturday morning ahead at the Welfare Ground, with six of our teams in action and clubs travelling in from across Kent.

A big Betteshanger welcome to Faversham Town Youth, Hawkinge Town Youth, Tankerton, Ramsgate FC and Whitfield Juniors. 👋⚽️

📅 Saturday 19th September

10:00am
⚽ U10 Red v Hawkinge Town Youth Eagles
⚽ U11 Red v Ramsgate FC Red
⚽ U13 v Whitfield Juniors FC Colts
⚽ U14 Blacks v Faversham Town Youth

11:00am
⚽ U9 White v Faversham Town Youth Lions
⚽ U10 Yellow v Tankerton

And there’s a little extra significance to the 10am kick-off…

🖤❤️ It’s the Betteshanger Blacks’ HOME DEBUT! ❤️🖤

After starting their league campaign on the road, the U14 Blacks finally get the chance to play a competitive fixture on home soil.

The weather looks pretty decent for football too — mild and breezy, with some sunshine around and just the chance of the odd shower. 🌤️💨⚽️

Six home fixtures. Five age groups. One packed morning of grassroots football at the Welfare Ground.

If you’re around, come down, grab a coffee at Cafe Pariz and support the teams. ☕️👏

Good luck to every Betteshanger player pulling on the shirt this weekend — enjoy your football! 🖤❤️⚽️

Good luck from everyone at Betteshanger Youth! ❤️🖤🎺

A huge good luck to Betteshanger Colliery Welfare Band as they make their final preparations before heading to the York Barbican for the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain.

This photo was taken at their open rehearsal this week and gives just a little glimpse of the work, commitment and countless hours that have gone into getting ready for such a huge occasion.

Representing Betteshanger on a national stage is something to be incredibly proud of, and we know everyone involved will give absolutely everything when the time comes.

We also have to give a very special mention to Ian Thomas, who is celebrating an incredible 50th year with the band. Fifty years representing the same band and community is some achievement — wow! 👏🎺

From the players, coaches, parents and everyone involved with Betteshanger Youth Football, we wish the whole band a safe journey, a brilliant weekend and the very best of luck in York.

Whatever happens on the stage, getting there is already a fantastic achievement.

Go and make Betteshanger proud Betteshanger Colliery Band ! ❤️🖤

⚽️ THE JOURNEY STARTS HERE! ❤️🖤

Some brilliant photos from our U7s’ first 3v3 games against Ramsgate FC this weekend.

For many of these young players, this is the very beginning of their football journey — and what a great way to start it!

The new 3v3 format is all about giving the children more touches of the ball, more chances to dribble, pass, score, make decisions and, most importantly, enjoy playing football.
At this age it isn’t about results. It’s about confidence, learning, trying things, making mistakes, celebrating goals and developing a real love for the game. ⚽️

Plenty of smiles, plenty of goals and lots of little footballers beginning to find their feet on the pitch.

A huge well done to all of our U7s, their coaches and parents — and thank you to Ramsgate FC for being part of their first 3v3 experience.

❤️🖤 The first steps of what we hope will be a very long football journey.

FOOTBALL IS BACK.

The waiting is over.
The summer preparation is done.
The new season starts NOW. ❤️🖤

We’ve worked hard all summer preparing for this weekend, and there’s nothing quite like that feeling when the first whistle of a new season is finally about to blow.

To all of our returning players, parents and coaches — welcome back.

And to everyone who has chosen to join the Betteshanger family this season…

WELCOME.

New players.
New teams.
New challenges.
New memories waiting to be made.

So don’t think of this weekend as the end of summer…

Think of it as the beginning of another brilliant season together.

There will be wins.
There will be defeats.
There will be incredible goals, big saves, muddy kits, celebrations, lessons learned and memories that will last far longer than any result.

And it all starts this weekend.
