Canterbury Eagles
Our ever-popular Saturday Soccer is the first stage on your child’s Canterbury Eagles journey. Running every Saturday (unless of very bad weather) from 9.30am, these fun, hour-long sessions provide children with the perfect introduction to football.
Our Wildcats Girls’ Football Centre provides girls aged 5-11 years old with the opportunity to play football in a friendly and supportive environment. Lead by an experienced all-female coaching team, we hope that Wildcats will inspire a lifelong love of the game.

What do I need to bring?
Clothing, footwear and other training equipment:
All children that participate in Saturday Soccer will need to wear appropriate footwear. This will either be AstroTurf trainers or football boots. It is also expected that children will wear shin pads.
It is expected that children will wear appropriate clothing for participating in training. In warm weather, a T-shirt with shorts and football socks is recommended.
When the weather is cold it is expected that children will wear at least a sports jumper and tracksuit trousers. It is also advised that children have a hat and gloves.
All children that attend training should also bring a bottle of water that they can drink during break times.
If a child has any medical issues (such as asthma) it is important that parents/guardians bring all prescribed medical interventions to training.
Parents and guardians
When children are training parents/guardians are encouraged to remain at the training session to support and encourage players.
Canterbury Eagles is run by volunteers who have a passion to support children to have fun and develop their interest in football. Most of the volunteers at the club are parents/guardians who have children playing in various age groups. We encourage all parents/guardians from Saturday Soccer to volunteer to support with coaching or other roles. As each year group progresses to league football it is the aim of the Club to have one or more parents/guardians involved in the running of that age group.
If parents/guardians are interested in supporting in a coaching capacity then the Club will pay for a CRC Check (Criminal Records Check, or DBS), as this is the minimum requirement of the Club for volunteers working with children.
If any parent/guardian wishes to manage an age group as their child progresses into league football, Canterbury Eagles will pay for that parent/guardian to complete the FA Level 1 coaching badge.
