Onside Football Skills Training

Onside is a football development programme for young people, developed to tackle anti-social behaviour, isolation and boredom.

Football skills sessions are delivered across South Somerset by Yeovil Town FC and in association with local community support agencies. The Sports Development Team at South Somerset District Council is part of the steering group for the Onside Project and have secured funding from Sport England to deliver the project.

What's on offer?

  • Regular FREE football skills training on your doorstep in your community.
  • Tournaments between areas.
  • The opportunity to watch Yeovil Town FC play.
  • Progression for those showing ability to Yeovil Town Development Centres.

Adults can gain an FA level 1 coaching qualification and CRB checks free of charge if they commit to helping a project.
