It's been a very hectic first few months at Farnborough Elite FC. We have some wonderful players, parents, supporters, managers and coaches at the club and if you have that in place, then I know that we can achieve great things together.
We have 6 teams this season, from under 12s through to under 16, who play in Surrey Youth League. At present 4 of those teams are top of their respective divisions, which isn't bad! We all train and play our home matches at Bisley.
There is much to do at the club in terms of generating funds to invest in kit, equipment and the training facility itself at Bisley. However, as a club run by willing volunteers, I am sure that we can take things forward and make the progress required. We have already started improving the club house by increasing the range on offer; hosted a fireworks event at Bisley; put up floodlights so that our teams can train in the evenings and improved communication through the club website, Facebook pages and Twitter (@FBoroEliteFC). In addition our under 15s trained alongside the first team and under 16s have had match day visits to Cherrywood Road. Our new goalkeeping coach will now have sessions for all club goalkeepers.
During the course of this season and next we hope to achieve the FA Charter status for our club; invest in the facilities at Bisley further and make our club one of the best in the South East. It will take a lot of hard work and will require help from willing supporters, but I'm sure we can get there and develop some great players for Farnborough FC!
