Joining Sheen Lions For Season 2023-24

The League season 2023-24 will run from Sunday 10th September 2023 until Sunday 12th May 2024. During June and July we have signed up most of the players for the teams that we will run next season in age groups U9 and older.

To understand how our Club works please read Understanding Sheen Lions.

Age Groups U10 and Younger

Trial once Season Starts

You are able to join the club.

  • U9 and U10 may still get a place in a match squad, otherwise you can join to train as a Cub.
  • U8 Match squads are not chosen until Half term, until then you can compete for a place in a match squad, after the squads are chosen you may still get a place in a match squad, otherwise you can join to train as a Cub.
  • U7 U6 and U5 can join to train.

If you are interested in joining the Club in the first instance please complete the short application form available here.

We will then invite you to register to trial. Depending on the age group you are trialling for a place in a match squad but this could also be termed as a taster as you can join as a training member regardless. Note that especially in the older age groups (U08 up) we may not be able to invite you to trial immediately. Demand to join Sheen Lions is very high and we do strictly keep the ratio of coaches to players within the limits set by the FA. Coaches will be put in place to support the players that have committed to the club in July and it can take a while to add additional coaching resource of the necessary high standard.

Age Groups U11 up to U18

Match squads are largely established but there may be places available for players of a good standard.

You must first enquire by email to the managers in your age group ( 2023-24 age group) asking if they wish to trial you. If they do then they will arrange for you to be invited to trial. This is a trial, if you cannot be offered a place in a match squad then you cannot join the club, we do not have training only players in these age groups.

  • Your Email must include:
    • Player’s Full Name
    • Player’s date of birth
    • email address of one or both parents
    • A brief summary of football experience indicating the level reached

Email And Spam

Sheen Lions FC conducts all of its administration by email. Starting from when you complete the enquiry until you end your engagement with the Club, maybe in many years time, you must monitor your Spam folder on a regular basis to make sure that you do not miss an important message.

Silent Weekend 26th February 2023

Sheen Lions along with all teams in the Surrey youth League will be observing the FA Silent Support Weekend at all our matches on 26 February.

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-xfPWKJ82pX

One of the recipients, Nyika School in Mhondoro district in Mashonaland Zimbabwe, has recently written to KitAid thanking them for their continued support and KitAid have passed their message on with some photos.

Palewell Closed 17th – 18th Dec

We regret that due to the cold weather the pitches at Palewell are unplayable. There will be no Saturday training on 17th or home matches on Sunday 18th.

Players due to play at home on Sunday must look out for messages from your Manager. Your opposition has the option to host the match within certain time constraints. It seems unlikely any will be able to do this but there is a possibility.

Players due to play away must also look out for messages from your Manager in case your opposition cancel. They may do this early on Sunday. Clearly we will not be hosting any away games cancelled at Palewell this Sunday.

All, have a good festive break, and be ready to resume in the first week on 2023.

Dec 10 2022

Home Games Cancelled 11th December

ALL HOME GAMES ARE OFF TOMORROW.

Please let opposition, referees, parents and players know.

Managers: remember to still do your match cards to avoid a fine.
