West Bridgford Colts FC has been running 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 prepare for the 2019-20 season, we expect to have well in excess of 300 players aged 4-8 passing through the Mini-Colts gates every weekend.
This season’s timetable is as follows:
U5s (School year Reception):
Saturdays 10.00 – 11.00am – Spaces currently available

PLEASE NOTE: we work very closely with all other local clubs. We also sometimes run training groups for players whilst they await a space coming up. So for any group where we are marked as currently full, please still email colts@scorefc.org, and we will try to help get your child playing.
Venues
U5s, U6s and Mini-Colts girls’ sessions all take place at Nottingham Football Centre behind Rushcliffe School.
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 email colts@scorefc.org with your child’s name, date of birth and whether you have a preference for Saturdays or Sundays (subject to availability).

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!
