Worthys Youth Football Club

Worthys Football Club and Worthys Youth FC combined is a locally run FA Charter Standard Community Club currently providing football opportunities for over 300 children and young adults of both sexes and covering the age range from 6 to post-18.

The majority of players live within the local Kings Worthy area, but the club welcomes players from all parts of Winchester and beyond. In 2014 we were awarded Community Club status and won Hampshire FA’s Community Club of the year. We were able to attain Community Club status as result of a group of ex-youth players coming together to form our first ever men’s team at post-18. It is testament to the ethos of the club that they wanted to find that spirit again!

Worthys Wild Cats

SSE Wildcats Girls’ Football Centres from The FA in partnership with Worthys Youth FC offer Winchester area girls the chance to start their football journey. SSE Wildcats Girls’ Football Centres from The FA will provide Winchester area girls aged 5-11 with regular opportunities to play football. The initiative offers organised sessions in a fun and engaging environment created exclusively for girls.

More than 1,000 clubs were established throughout England in 2018. SSE Wildcats Girls’ Football sessions take place on a weekly basis, and provide a safe environment where girls can try football for the first time. SSE and The FA hope the initiative will inspire participants to engage with football, meet new friends, develop fundamental skills, learn new things and create the foundation for a lifelong love of football. Season one of the Worthys’ Wildcats has been running since April 2019 and finished in September 2019 (16 sessions).
