Welcome to the Summertown Stars, home of the biggest young people’s football club in Oxford.
We have more than 400 playing members, both boys and girls, with teams at every age group from under-7 to under-18.
Summertown Stars is an FA-recognised Charter Standard Community Club and to gain such recognition the club has to meet stringent criteria on facilities, coaching and pastoral care. We have forged links with a club in the Peckham estate in South London and regularly undertake exchange programmes with them. Plus we have an active arrangement with a school in South Africa to which we send our used kit.
As endorsed by the Football Association, Community Clubs – the pinnacle of the club development pathway – are those that have a high quality, multi-team (minimum of 10 teams) set up with excellent social, training and playing opportunities for all.
All this means you can bring your children along to Summertown Stars safe in the knowledge that they will be looked after by qualified coaches, who have been checked and passed by the CRB and who all actively endorse a policy of encouragement and player development, rather than the win-at-all-costs mentality that pervades so much youth football.
