Sheen Lions are a long established competitive youth football club based in East Sheen. We provide the very best coaching and competitive match play for over 220 boys from the ages of 7 to 17 years and in the current season we have 16 teams represented in the Surrey Youth League. Training for our current Under 13 sides takes place at the Bank of England, floodlit all weather facility every Friday between 7.00 pm and 8.00pm from mid Sept to the end of June, with match play on a Sundays.

The current under 13’s have been one our most successful age group teams with 32 registered boys across two sides, and 7 trophies won in the last 3 years.  Demand for both sides remains high and very competitive but we continue to promote an open policy of recruitment and as such will create a number of opportunities for boys to be part of the success. As such, I’m delighted to announce we will conduct the first of our open days on Friday 19th March 2010 at the Bank of England. Boys will participate in a series of 5/ 6 a-side game across 3 pitches. Unfortunately, for the open day we cannot accommodate children in any other year group, however details of our general recruitment policy are posted on the web site.

If you are interested, you are very welcome to come along but I would be grateful if you could let me know in advance so I can manage numbers. Please simply come along and register at 6.45 p.m. and wear football kit including shin pads and astro shoes (or trainers) and bring some water for refreshment.

There will also be the opportunity to see a number of our coaches in action, members of our current squads and meet some members of our team.

Following the success last year of our inaugural Sheen Lions ‘Open Day’, we will repeat this year , with two sessions aimed at recruiting current YEAR 2 and YEAR 3 boys (and Managers) for next season’s – Under 8’s and Under 9’s.

Last year, we successfully managed to initiate two thriving Under 9 team’s and one developing Under 8 squad, which has been great.

Sheen Lions is an FA certified Charter Standard club. We currently run sixteen teams in the West Surrey Youth League from Under 8 to Under 18 with well over 200 boys registered and this year we plan to expand that to 18, with a second Under 9 group (next season’s age group) and potentially an Under 8 set up. Currently, the sixteen teams makes us the second biggest club in Surrey, in terms of number of teams.

As there are many siblings in the club and also friends of friends that might be interested , we would be grateful if you could pass the attached flyer on as you see appropriate to your own teams.

The first OPEN DAY is SATURDAY MARCH 20th at SHEEN COMMON from 12.15 to 1.30

The second OPEN DAY is SATURDAY APRIL 17th at SHEEN COMMON from 12.15 to 1.30
