Your local junior football club, ran by professionals
The club was set up in 2008 for the sole purpose of developing the more talented players from our soccer schools in an environment where they could be kept engaged and challenged whilst still enjoying the many benefits the beautiful game brings.
In 2013 FC Sports was awarded ‘Charter Standard’ status by The FA, this kite-mark recognises the standards of specifics such as training facilities, coaching standards, policies, procedures and much more. Here at LSC we pride ourselves on our reputation for professional sports development, so for this reason the majority of our players have been handpicked from one of our many schools or academies.
Equal Playing Time
Playing the best players in order to win a game is not something we believe in for grassroots football. We strive to ensure FC Sports players receive equal playing time over the course of each game/season.
A team for all abilities
We NEVER say no to players wanting to play football as long as there is space, but we also feel strongly about players being placed in to suitable ability groups to enable development both physically and mentally.
We have several teams at every age group with a wide variety of abilities, we will find the right level for each child.
Development over results
Our No 1 priority is developing our players, not just technically but socially, emotionally and physically. We will NOT put results over developing these areas in any of our teams.
Playing Fees
For the 2021/22 season, you will have a choice of membership packages:

Our annual fees are made payable two ways:
- An up front payment of a £66.00 signing-on fee, and spread the remaining balance over 10 months at the monthly costs as listed above.
- Pay the full seasons fees off when you sign on and receive a discount of £15.00.
These fees cover costs such as coaches, facilities, league fees, referees, insurance, equipment, trophies and tournaments.
What’s the Signing on Fee?
The £66.00 signing on fee payable each season. This covers the admin involved in registering your child with the league, FA & other club registrations. If you pay annually this is already included in the annual fee.
Club Kit
Playing kits and teamwear costs vary dependent on age/size. We keep each kit style for a 2 year cycle, players are required to update kits every 2 year when the cycle ends.
Kits are ordered directly with the suppliers and delivered to us. We will then handover the kit when all signing on processes have been completed.
Signing on
Players are required to sign on each season, any players not signed on will not be insured under the club policy, therefore unable to play.
