There are two ways of joining the club:

(1) : Register as a trialist – This is popular with many parents as you select the day you wish your child to come along. They come along for the session and meet the coaches and other kids, then you can decide if you want to join fully.

If you then wish to join fully, you just select the training sessions you wish to take part in. We recommend two sessions a week to make a real difference with your child.

(2) : Register Fully – If you already know the sessions you wish to join from our website or app, then just go ahead through the website or app and register with the club.

First stage:

Bring your child to the training session you selected. Your child will train in a group which after discussion with you we think will most suit your child’s abilities. The coach will then work with your child and either they they will remain with this group or be placed into a different group which we think will be more suitable and appropriate for their development. This process will take under three sessions.

Your child will then be included in the group which will show up on the club app. With the app we can then communicate with you on sessions, our football grading and termly assessment.

We offer football training sessions from as young as three years old right through to our U18 program

Easy. We have three different levels of teams.

Saturday Camden and Regents League: This is the Saturday morning league and it is brilliant fun for all and well run. Our kids love this league and each team is playing at their appropriate level. E.g. If your child is not the best technically enjoys their football, then the league encompasses a wide range of ability and is a good place to begin.

All players are selected at the start of the season to play in our squads. All new players can join a team if we have space in a team. Selection also depends on key criteria such as attendance at training, availability for matches and ability levels measured technically and in terms of maturity such as the ability to work as part of a team

For the Saturday Camden and Regents league the matches are played as follows

U7 to U12 – Play fortnightly games on a Saturday morning in Regents Park

U13 to U14 – Play games most Saturday’s around 11 to 1pm in Regents Park

Regent’s Park is a football and sports social enterprise. Since we started in 2006, our intention was to give our local children of all abilities and backgrounds the opportunity to have the very best level of coaching in a safe, professional environment. Today, we have several full time PE Teachers/Coaches, Academy level coaches, ex Professional football players and we are introducing a World Class football coaching program to all our coaches. Our fees go towards the cost of employing our coaches, pitch and facility hire, administrative and insurance costs, developing our coaching programmes for the kids, and an extensive continuing professional development programme for our coaches.

Regents Park FC, is managed by both Regents Park Community Sports CIC Limited and Regents Park Limited.

Regent’s Park Community sports is a social enterprise that want to use their profits and assets for the public good. All club fees for concessions and donations come through this organisation.

Regent’s Park FC Limited is the company which is affiliated to the London FA. All our full price fees come through this arm of the company and we use these fees to help subsidise the club.

Regents Park FC’s original aims were to be fully inclusive, giving children who otherwise might not be able to afford it, the chance to reach their football potential.

Working with the Royal Parks we were able to develop eligibility concessionary rates from 2008, which range from 50% off club fees and full “free” bursaries.

Since 2006, we are delighted to have continued to offer heavily discounted rates and free bursary places with our very football/sport social entreprise business model.

• 38 children on free bursary places (the club self-funds this)
• 54 children on 50% discount for club fees
• 22 children on a 33% discounted sibling rate

Can you express these are percentages of total of kids rather than exact numbers?

14 to 16 year olds

• This years U14 to U16 squad saw over 15 players get a free bursary place which meant they did not pay any fees and thus allowed us to keep them in our community of teams
• We raised over £3000 in our own fundraiser to allow players to go to the Gothia Youth World Cup
• For the Gothia Cup, we have supported as a club over £10,000 over the past 5 years to allow children from all background to go to this amazing life enhancing event. The Gothia Cup is something that has seen over 400 players from our club and this tournament almost forces the boys into communicating and having fun with many cultures and nationalities.

Young Adults

Since 2006, we have employed over 100 youth and young adult coaches and staff. Our paid training program has saw our young coaches go on to become Primary school teachers, PE Teachers, Entrepreneurs and many more positions.

Our expenditure ranges from:

Full time and part time coaches:-

The coaches at the club are all paid a good rate of pay to allow us to attract and retain the lifeblood of the club. Our coaches are teachers of the game but also of life. We also pay for our coaches ot have continuing professional development to maintain their high level of coaching.

Programme development costs: -

We also invest heavily in developing and accessing first class football and PE training programmes from our ties with professional clubs, and other educational organisations.

Premises and Pitch Hire:-

Last year alone, our pitch and hall hire costs amounted to over £35,000

Business costs:-

We have to cover the normal business costs and expenditure from payroll, expenses, accountancy fees, insurance, web design, league fees, payroll……

The club requires all our players to wear the clubs training and football kit.

Our football kit consists of

We have links with West Ham and QPR. Our youth program has seen many of our boys go to Academies. Our program has now had its first professional player with Queens Park Rangers.

We develop players to play at their highest level and we have seen over the last ten years our players become University players, Semi Pro player , Professional players but most importantly, we seem to keep many of our players still playing which has a huge help for them as young adults.

The Gothia Cup is something that has seen over 400 players from our club and this tournament almost forces the boys into communicating and having fun with many cultures and nationalities.

Yes your child can definitely train with the Regent’s Park FC without joining one of our teams. We have three packages depending on time and commitment which allow your child to only train with us at the club.

• Single Club Session (one session per week),
• Double Club Training (two sessions per week)
• Gothia Program (three sessions per week)

Yes we definitely coach girls and we now have over 60 girls taking part in our girls only sessions on a Saturday morning from 10:45 to 12:30.

With the increase in girls participation in football we are creating our first U8 and U10 girls teams.

Currently we have mixed sessions at our Saturday Regents and our midweek UCl session.

We may trial a ‘Girls ONLY’ program but one of our head coaches Marla is an ex Portuguese International player and she feels the mixture of games and training with and against boys helps our girls get Match ready.
