This isnโt something that happens overnight. Itโs the result of a huge amount of work from volunteers behind the scenes and reflects our commitment to creating opportunities for everyone to play football.
At the beginning of the 2025/26 season, we moved from 1 Star to 2 Star Accreditation after some fantastic work from Penny Woods, our previous Disability & Inclusion Officer, who helped establish our Saturday PAN Disability sessions. Alongside this, working with Adam Johnson, our Head of Girls Football, we introduced open girls training which led to the launch of four all-girls teams for the 2025/26 season โ U10 Girls, two U12 Girls teams and U14 Girls โ and saw us accepted into the KGLFL. ๐
That was a huge step forward for our clubโฆ but we didnโt stop there.
Throughout this season weโve continued working hard behind the scenes and weโre excited to share that weโll soon be reintroducing open girls training sessions to support girls outside of the age groups we currently cater for and continue building opportunities locally.
Achieving 3 Star Accreditation means a club provides a complete football pathway across boys, girls and disability football โ something only a small number of grassroots clubs reach. It recognises clubs that create inclusive opportunities and sustainable football environments for players of all backgrounds and abilities.
This badge isnโt just recognition of where we are today โ itโs recognition of where weโre heading. More opportunities. More pathways. More football for our community โค๏ธ๐ค
A massive thank you to everyone involved โ youth committee members that includes Gary Seamark, Ross Wiles, Lucy Thomsett, Kev Long, Luke Crouch, Azza Gray & Nick Thompson, volunteers, coaches, parents and players. This achievement belongs to all of you.
#Shoutout to @FcSheppey players and coaches at @ESF_Football in Bognor Regis for #ESF26
Special shout-out to Otto, hope you have a fantastic tournament!
Best of luck everyone!
@jm_odeniran@FIFC Well done Joel from all at Sheppey United youth. Great to see an ex youth player here going on and achieving great things. Keep smashing it ๐ช
