"Girl’s football is now massive and I'm really proud to manage our girls’ team. Each time they take to the field the girls play with the same tenacity, commitment, and drive as the lionesses. It’s a pleasure to be part of the All Stars and the girl’s development".

Rob, All stars Manager

“I play as a defender, and I really enjoy playing matches—especially because we get to work together as a team. It’s even better when we win! Being part of Allstars means a lot to me. It’s more than just football—it's about being part of a club where everyone shares the same passion for the game In training, I love doing 1 v 1s and 2 v 2s small sided mini matches. They’re fun and help us learn at the same time. My favourite All Stars moment has to be the tournaments. I really enjoy them, especially the one where my team won—it was such a great feeling to win it and be All Stars champions.”

Jessica, 15

“I enjoy football because it makes me happy and I have made new friends. All Stars means a lot to me as it’s gave me the opportunity to train to get better and play real matches. I enjoy running and shooting practice in training and my favourite thing about matches is that I get to play football and show how fast I am, I also love to take corners.”

Oliver, 9

“I love playing football because I get to see my friends every week! The shark game in training is one of my favourites- my Daddy (Coach Michael) is the shark, and we have to dribble end to end to get past the shark and if we don’t we are then sharks too! Whoever is left at the end is the winner! I love passing to my friends so they can score, and I have done lots of assists in matches!”

Elsie-Rose 6

“I have been part of All Stars since the age of five, beginning in the development team with Kev and Jan. From the very start, the club has provided a supportive and welcoming environment that feels like an extended family. Over the years, there have been many highs and lows, but the encouragement from the coaches and the togetherness of the team have always stood out. Training has not only developed me as a player but also taught me the value of enjoying the game, with sessions that combine learning, fun, and teamwork. In addition to playing, I am also a qualified referee and regularly officiate matches for the younger All Stars teams. It’s rewarding to see their progress each week and to be able to give something back to the club that has given me so much.”

Callum, 16

“I love playing football every week because you meet new friends and I've made lots at All Stars. I also like playing against friends I know. I love playing for the club. You get to learn a lot about playing football and improving my skills In training I like doing the rebound goals and top bins. I also like the warmups. When we play matches sometimes we play the golden egg game where a player is picked to be the golden egg and every goal they score it counts as 2.”

Theo, 8

“All Stars is fun I have met new friends along the way I love meeting up each week with my teammates taking part in great training sessions I really enjoy playing the water bottle game it’s fun and such a laugh seeing everyone get wet! I’m a goalkeeper and have been since my footballing journey began at age 5 the best part for me been a goalkeeper is pulling off a worldie save then when my team celebrates with me this makes me feel so proud to be a part of the team. My ambition is to play for Liverpool and be the number 1 goalkeeper.”

Ollie, 9

Message From The Chairman

“I have been part of this club since I was 8 years old. First as a player and later as a parent, coach, manager and now chairman. Over the years I have seen first-hand how football brings people together and I am incredibly proud of the journey our club has taken.

What makes our club so special is not just the football we play, but the people behind it. Week after week, our amazing volunteers give their time and energy to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and enjoy the game. Without them, none of this would be possible.

The club continues to grow year on year, and thanks to the dedication of our coaches, players and parents, we are now the biggest club in the town. But more importantly, we are a community – a family – made up of the best children and parents any club could wish for.

I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together in the years ahead, and I thank every one of you for being part of this incredible journey.”

- Phil Makepeace, Club Chairman
