The merchandise is available to Sheen Lions players (including Development squad) only.

Donate Your Old Boots

Just bought a lovely new pair of football boots for the new season?

You can help SHEEN LIONS FC support KITS 4 CAUSES

by donating your old footie boots.

Simply clean them, tie them together with the laces and

take them before the end of September to:

David Hughes, 75 Temple Sheen Road SW14 7RS

(just leave them in the green round bin at side of the house)

We’ll do the rest.

Many thanks for your support.

Yes please to: Clean football boots and astros

No thanks to: Trainers, socks, shin pads

Your support, however large or small, can make a real difference. Your donated boots will be the first ever pair worn by disadvantaged children and will offer a generation of young people affected by poverty, poor health and lack of opportunity a new sense of hope, pride and ambition for themselves and for their country.

Thank you.

Player Registrations For 2014-15 – Individual Registrations Now Open

The League have now made Individual Registration Forms available for 2014-15 and so the registration process is now open again.

The Registration Confirmation email will have a SYL Individual Registration form attached and this must be signed and returned along with all the other required paperwork.

Player Registrations For 2014-15 – Currently Closed

We have now visited the League to register our teams for 2014-15 so currently you cannot register for Sheen Lions.

In late August or early September, once the league open their Individual Player registration form for 2014-15 we will be able to add a few boys to our squads and registrations will reopen for those invited at that time.

If you have any queries at this time you should contact the manager of the team you hope to join. Contact details are on the appropriate team page on SheenLions.com.

It is a massive amount of work to register the boys each season. We have received 317 registrations across 12 age groups and our Secretary will be registering 18 teams with the league today with U8 teams to follow later.

Senior Teams – Start Of Season Dates

Official Sheen Lions training for team that train mid week (U12 to U18) will start at the Bank of England Sports Centre in the week beginning Monday 1st September 2014 and runs through until early May 2015 with some holiday breaks. Details are on your team page.

Tue 2/9 – U15, U18
Thu 4/9 – U16
Fri 5/9 – U12, U13, U14

It is likely that your Manager and Coach will arrange pre-season activity in August before official training starts. Teams have to finance this themselves. Look out for announcements from your Manager.

The league season kicks off for all age groups except U8 on Sunday 14th September 2014. The season closes at the latest on 10th May 2015.

Sarah Street Receives The Bill Nash Award 2014

The Surrey Youth League (originally The West Surrey Boys League) was founded in 1966 by a group of enthusiasts. Bill Nash was one of the founder members, he became a life vice president of the league and remained involved until his death in 2013.

In memory of Bill the league decided to commission a cup to be awarded to a worthy recipient each year. The League awards the cup to an “Unsung Hero”, someone from our clubs who perhaps goes unnoticed but who has over the years dedicated a lot of time and effort into ensuring young people can enjoy participation in football.

Every one at Sheen Lions is absolutely thrilled that this year the League has made the Bill Nash Award to our Club Secretary Sarah Street. We all know what a huge amount of time and energy Sarah has dedicated to youth football over many years and she fully deserves this recognition.

Sarah received the Bill Nash cup from Bill’s widow Pam, his granson Stephen and Bill’s son Brian Nash

At the same Surrey Youth League AGM Sarah also received the U14 Sportsmanship award on behalf of our U14 Lions squad.
