First Matches For Sheen Lions U8

U08 2025-26

On Saturday 29th of November some of our under 8’s headed to Westside FC to play a couple of friendly matches. It was the under 8’s first competitive matches and a big step in their development.

Led by head coach Michael and his assistant coach Harry, the enthusiasm of all the boys was fantastic. All the matches were incredibly competitive and played in the spirit of the game. The boys listened to their coaches and visibly improved throughout the morning. All the boys were given the chance to play in different positions and most importantly they all played their hearts out.

It was such an enjoyable experience for the boys and a massive thank you goes out to Westside FC for being such brilliant hosts.


Michael.

Silent Weekend 16th November 2025

Sheen Lions along with all teams in the Surrey Youth League and the Surrey County Womens and Girls League will be observing the FA Silent Support Weekend at all our matches on 16th November.

To be clear we are asking the spectators to show their support through applause only when the match is in play. This gives players a better opportunity to find their own voice and develop their game.

What to do at the Silent Weekend?

  • Allow players to make mistakes
  • Allow players to make their own decisions
  • Applaud good play and effort from either team

What are the benefits of the Silent Weekend?

  • Players can concentrate on the game and not be distracted by the touchline
  • Players develop independent learning and decision-making
  • Coaches can assess the team’s communication skills

Misconduct has spiralled out of control in this and many other local leagues. Particularly spectators and managers abusing match officials. The league will do everything it can to remove from the league those who continue to abuse match officials.

Please make this weekend a success.

The FA have provided an asset pack to support the silent weekend, available here: https://we.tl/t-U4sOZ4jqZE

So let’s get our players involved.

On Saturday 15th November, at training, there will be mini tournaments played
for the younger ones, U5s. U6s. U7s. U8s.

Managers/Coaches…keep accurate scores please.

On Sunday 23th November, for every goal scored and every clean sheet kept, the club will donate the following for the U9s through to U18s.

Managers/Coaches…keep accurate scores please.

There will also be added money to the pot for those players that wear the correct kit including socks and the mandatory Sheen Lions rain jacket to training on Saturday.

It’s a really good incentive for all the players to do their bit, feel involved and help contribute. I’m sure you agree this is the right thing to do, even more so in these very difficult times, and will support the club in supporting these worthy charities.
