Football Activities at Selsdon Baptist

 U12 - U14    U15 - 17 Seniors

At Selsdon Baptist we see football both as a way of serving our community and a way to reach out to those who might not come to other churh activities.

We have had a senior team for over 20 years. We are currently running two boys teams covering the age range U12 - U17 together with Emmanuel Church. More details of the U15 - U17 team here

11 - 14 Team

South London Churches League and Cup

2009 - 10 Season

This season the league kicks off in October. Our joint team with Emmanuel Church South Croydon has had a number of training sessions and is ready to go. If you are interested in playing for the team, contact Paul Hubbard 0208 668 2783 or email  

2008 - 9 Season Reports

For the 2008-9 season we joined the U14 (school years 7 - 9) league. We had a joint team with Emmanuel Church, South Croydon, and Croham Road Baptist.

We ended 2nd in the league and we also reached the Final of the knockout cup, with a 6-0 win over Slade Evangelical in the semis. In the final against Crystal Palace Community Church the game looked like it was going to extra time until a last five minute goal by Palace meant a 2-1 defeat for us.

We'll be looking for more players for next season 2009-2010, so please get in touch.

2009 - 10 Season Report
The snow and poor weather restricted play in January. However, we have more recently played Elim Church - against whom we had a convincing win.

We welcomed a new defender - Tom, from Purley Baptist Church - who has strengthened our defence! We also played Crystal Palace, who beat us, despite it being a close game.

Over half-term we played a friendly match against Christchurch Beckenham. One of our team attends Christchurch and he was keen we played his friends. They were a younger team but we played well, winning 13-1!

On March 6th we have a cup game arrangement and timings are always rather last minute, so difficult to publish, but that is life with teenagers! It is good to coach and build relationships with the boys and the lads are working well as a team.
On some Saturdays we meet up with the 14-16 year olds at Purley Way and they too are benefiting from football in a Christian league. Watch this space for end of season news!

U15 - U17 Football - 2009 - Selsdon Lightnings

Our 15 - 17 age range team, The Selsdon Lightnings, has been launched for 2009. This is a joint team with Emmanuel Church South Croydon.

 

Building on the success of the U14 team we are playing teams from other churches on Saturday Mornings

 

The team is open to anyone in school years 10, 11 or 12, or the equivalent ages.. Everyone is welcome, whatever your skill level, and we aim for everyone in the team who turns at the match to play at least part of the game.

 

Follow the link to the U17 League page for more details about the league.

Looking for Competition!

Do you have a football team?

We are always keen to play matches against other teams. If your church has a team or is thinking of starting a team, for either 11-14  or 15 -18 age ranges please get in touch. We play on Saturday mornings at frequencies which can be agreed. The teams have a short prayer before kick-off.

 

Other Churches Welcome

We would be delighted to hear from any other churches interested in taking part. If no-one is doing it already at your church, have you considered starting a team? Football as a church activity is a good 'way in' to the church. Unlike most secular leagues, we play on Saturday and don't therefore clash with other church activities.

If you are interested, let us know:

If you are not sure at this stage, let us have your contact details at least, and we will get back in touch later.

If you are interested, please email as soon as you can.

If you are not the appropriate person, can you pass this on to anyone who might be interested. Click hereto email this page to a friend.

If you are an individual interested in playing in the team, please email   as well.
