Football Activities at Selsdon Baptist

U12 - U14 U15 - 18 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 church activities.

We have had a senior team for over 20 years. We are currently running a boys team covering the age range U15 - U18 together with Emmanuel Church.

11 - 14 Team

South London Churches League and Cup

2010 - 2011 Season

Unfortunately we are short of a manager for this team this year, so currently the team is not running. Please contact if you want to be informed if anything is arranged.

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!

Seniors

The senior football team ran from 1990 to 2011, but unfortunately is no more. They used to play weekly on Saturdays in the Bromley and Croydon Christian Football League. The team also reached the semi final of the National Christian Cup in 2009. The football club's own website http://www.sbcfc.org.uk is still there, so look there for more details

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:

contact details
how many boys might be interested
how frequently you would be interested in playing.

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.
