Hillside Rovers Football Club
Hillside Avenue Primary School, Hillside Avenue, Thorpe St. Andrew, Norwich, Norfolk, NR7 0AA
Welcome to Hillside Rovers FC
Hillside Rovers is a friendly football club based at Hillside Avenue School, but independent from the school and with many players from other schools in the area.
The club's philosophy is to get as many children involved in football, regardless of their ability, sex or nationality. We are not 'win at all costs' but seek to strike a balance between being a competitive club and also giving opportunity to children of all abilities.
Training sessions are held at Hillside School between 9.30am and 11.00am for Under 6's and Under 7's and from 9.30am to 11.30am for all other age groups, from September to mid-May. Because these premises are the school's, we are bound by school rules so can not allow dogs or smoking. |
Season 2010/11: most year groups will kick off on Saturday 4 September - the weekend before school re-starts, though it's best to check with your year team coach. The new under sixes will start on Saturday 18 September. Just turn up, on the school field, at 9:30, ready to kick some balls and play some games. We'll tell you more then, or keep an eye on the U6's page nearer the time. Coaches from the club will get this up and running but we'll need parents to take part too. |
We are run by volunteers who are all parents of players. Hillside Rovers is an FA Charter Standard Club. This means that we comply with criteria laid down by the FA, such as qualified coaches who are CRB checked. We are also a registered charity and are affiliated to Norfolk County Football Association.
Our five year groups are from Year 1 (under sixes) to Year 5 (under 10's). We are affiliated to St Andrews Football Club so our players normally move on to there from Year 6, when 11-a-side soccer starts.
If you are interested in joining Hillside Rovers, please ask one of your year group's coaches or click the "Contact us" link above and we'll get back to you very soon.
