Forest Football Club Youth development
Dean Magnus will carry on managing the U18's in the Sussex County Youth league along with Ron Tomsett his Assistant and Lee Perry his Goalkeeping Coach; who showed great promise last season and expect great things this year, as many of the lads will remain with us in this age group. The age to play for the U18's is 16-18 years old.
The youth section continues to go from strength to strength.The 'Youth' run very sucessfully off the field as well as on. This coming season we will be adding yet another side to Forest Youth FC. In the 2011/2012 campaign we will be competing at ages from U7's/U8's/U9's and U10's. By 2018 we will have a full youth section from U6's to U18's! The mini minor sides will play home matches on the "cornfield" next to the main pitch at Roffey Social and Sports Club. Whereas both senior teams and U18s play on the main pitch.
Our Youth sides focus on delivering first class training, coaching and overall development for a variety of age groups in youth football in the Horsham area. In 2011 we signed a partnership with Pro Direct Soccer Academies that allows Forest to offer its ver own Community Soccer School that offer "football for all" from ages of 4 and 5 right the way through to 8 years old. The Soccer School works as a feeder into the clubs teams but also offers the opportunity for the more advanced children to attend their specialised Academies.
