Do you have a child aged 4-6?
If you’re looking to get them into grass roots football, then Shield Academy is definitely the place to start!!
We are very fortunate to have a dedicated mini shields centre, every Saturday morning.
This is designed to introduce players into the club, and ultimately create new teams!
All abilities are welcome as we split into ability groups!
