The 24-25 season is finally here! <\/strong><\/p>\n

While some of our teams started on the 1st of September, the season for all teams across all age groups began proper on the 8th of September. <\/p>\n

This year, Fairford Youth Football Club will field more teams than ever before, with an incredible 20 teams <\/strong>representing our Club in the North Wilts Youth Football League for the coming campaign.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t include our youngest members, taking their first steps in their footballing journey with Kickstart, nor does it include our new Girls-focussed Training sessions. <\/p>\n

Our aim is to eventually add a girls team to our Club, in addition to the many fantastic young women playing their football with Fairford Youth in mixed teams right across our age groups. <\/p>\n

With almost 300 children forming our Club, it is set to be a busy season – we look forward to enjoying every minute of it with you! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
