West Bridgford Colts FC has been going since 1990 and has always encouraged children to join the club as soon as they start school. Mini-Colts in its current hugely popular form started in 2008.
The first session saw 50 eager new Colts in attendance. As we kick off the 2017-18 season, we have some 300 players aged 4-8 passing through the mini-Colts gates every weekend.

Venues
U5s, U6s and mini-Colts girls’ sessions all take place at Nottingham Football Centre behind Rushcliffe School/Leisure Centre.
U7s matches are predominantly at Nottingham Football Centre; week night training takes place at various venues around West Bridgford.
U8s matches are predominantly at Regatta Way; week night training takes place at various venues around West Bridgford.
Coaches
Courtesy of Score Coaching we have a team of highly qualified coaches (all FA Level 1 minimum but mostly FA Level 2 and above, and all very experienced at coaching children of this age) co-ordinating the sessions, all of whom are also DBS checked / first aid & safeguarding trained.
As well as coaching the children, they also mentor the volunteer parents who step forward to help – these volunteers, who will run the WBC teams as the children get older, are the lifeblood of the club.
If your child is interested in joining mini-Colts, please contact Nick via email nick@goalfood.com with your child’s name, date of birth and whether you have a preference for Saturdays or Sundays (subject to availability).
Please also see the mini-Colts Frequently Asked Questions.

Hi Graham
Apologies for the delay – u8’s please email jdlazarus@btintenet.com
We dont host any tournaments, do you mean our end of season presentation day?
Hi,
Please could you give me give details regarding my son joining your under 7s team.
My contact number is 07970 591833.
Many thanks

Apologies for the delay, I will pass your details onto Nick-Gordon Brown who will be in touch
Hi, my boy is 2.5 years old. Is this too young to join the club? Also – how much is it for a term? I couldn’t see any prices on your website.
Afraid we don’t start until school age but please google Soccer tots, they do some pre-school sessions, that are indoors and geared up for children of this age. Good luck and please get in touch in a few years!
Hi, my son Christopher has just started in reception and would like to attend the Sunday sessions 9-10. Please could you email me to let me know if that is possible?
Please see the updated availability of our sessions
Hi
Is there a waiting list I can put my six yr old lad on?
Please email nick@goalfood.com
Hello,
My son is 17 months old and very interested in kicking a ball. Do you have any toddler sessions for his sort of age group?
Many thanks,
Alice
Hi Alice,
That’s great that he is interested but I am afraid we don’t start until school age. If you google Soccer tots I think they do some pre-school groups – that are indoors and geared up for this age. Good luck and we look forward to hearing from you in a couple of years!

Hello, my son is on reception and I would like him to start on Saturday morning sessions from 26th January (it looks like you have spaces available). Could you please email me more details?
Hi,
I can see that you have space for under 5s above. I have twin boys that would love to start straight away if possible?
Please can someone contact me 🙂
I have tried to email Nick@goalfood.com but my email keeps bouncing back.
Thanks,
Sian
Thanks for your enquiry. Can you confirm their age please?
Hi just turned 5, in reception 🙂
Hiya, I have just emailed but not through this form- so you might get two from me! Could I possibly book Harry Scott-Nelson in your mini colts on Saturday mornings? His date of birth is 4/2/14
Thanks ever so much!
Aimee
Many thanks for your enquiry. I have passed this onto Nick Gordon Brown who manages mini colts
