Following Sheen Lions U7 impressive performance at the Sandgate FC youth tournament where they placed 2nd, the Lions U7 took it one step further in only their second attempt to win the West Drayton Youth Summer Tournament 2023. We are incredibly proud of the boys.
A big thank you to coach Michael, Bruno & Andrew getting the boys competing at such a high level.

On Sunday June 25th Sheen Lions entered the Sandgate FC youth tournament 2023 for their first competitive competition. Out of 35 teams the Lions roared to the final. Unfortunately they fell just short of first place. We are incredibly proud of the boys for coming Runners Up in the cup in one of the most competitive and popular events in the calendar year!
A truly fantastic effort from a special group of boys.
A big thank you to coach Michael, Bruno & Andrew for their efforts & getting the boys competing at such a high level. A big big thank to Ely for organising it for the players & guiding them to the final.

It’s a really good incentive for all the players to do their bit, feel involved and help contribute.

Continental Landscapes, on behalf of Richmond Council, have closed our pitches due the very wet weather to date and the predicted weather for Saturday, in order to protect the pitches.
There will be no Saturday training of home matches on Sunday. Be aware that it is unlikely but possible that your home match could become an away match. Your manager will inform you.

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.
The opportunity to join Sheen Lions for this season is now largely passed and this post is no longer current. Please see Preparing Sheen Lions For 2024-25.
You are able to join the club.
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, our Saturday groups are very close to capacity and additional coaches of the required standard are hard to find.
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.
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.

There have been adjustments to Saturday training due to the extra Bank Holiday added for the Coronation.

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.
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
