Thurlby Tigers U11’s
U11’s transition from Saturday to Sunday football, and from mini soccer to 9 v 9 football, and with that, a more competitive edge is introduced. Read more about our Bourne football club for Year 6.
Getting started
U11’s move from the Foundation stage to Youth Development phase of the FA DNA model. The emphasis continues to be on long-term player development, whilst also offering a platform for on field success. Positions are rotated but become less fluid and focused to matching player skillsets along with reasonable game time.
Training sessions take place at various venues around the local area, all sessions are time appropriate for the age group. Matches are scheduled for Sunday (10am, 12pm or 2pm).
Some of the age groups are currently split into multiple teams, creating a little inter-club rivalry!
We currently have three U11 football teams

TTFC U11 Oranges
Coaching team: Dale Falkner, Mike Taylor

TTFC U11 Whites
Coaching team: Simon Hoggart, Matt Bennett

TTFC U11 Blacks
Coaching team: Chris Gooderidge, Joe Lucus, Ben Dobson

What others say…
“I like Thurlby Tigers as some of my friends play there. I’ve made lots of new friends to and enjoy being part of a team. There isn’t the pressure I found at other clubs and it’s a fun place to play.”
