Under 14 reds

    Respectful, Encouraging, Dedicated, Selfless

We provide the opportunity for players to play the game, develop their skills, and above all else “enjoy the sport”.

Our Head Coach and Manager Martin Milton has a wealth of experience having previously played the game and coached for over 7-years. Martin is supported by Louis Dadds, an experienced coach who is currently still playing in a successful men’s team in Colchester at a good level. Martin is also supported by Daz Farrugia who has over 2 decades as a performance specialist (fitness and sport) within the Army which enables us to deliver bespoke fitness sessions which help prevent injury and improve performance on the pitch.

Qualifications: FA and UEFA C, The National Goalkeeping Coach; enabling us to focus on the specific position, National Futsal Coach and Degree (Strength and Conditioning, Physiology, Biomechanics and Sport psychology).

We currently play within the C league having gained promotion last season. We love the family atmosphere created by our players and their families, who are always an integral part of our journey. With our players at the forefront, our team organises fundraising events, including running a combined distance of 360 miles (one marathon each) to raise money for the opportunity to ‘Play on the Pitch’ at Peterborough United. This year, we are excited to be playing at Stoke City.

Off the pitch, we conduct team-building events that strengthen our bond. Extra events have included a King’s Birthday Parade rehearsal at the iconic Horse Guards Parade, a pre-season team-building day with the Army, and much more to come. Additionally, we regularly compete in futsal tournaments, which have added a new dimension to our team and brought us closer together.

We pride ourselves on creating an environment where every player feels welcome, valued, and supported as part of the team. Our goal is to help each player grow both on and off the field, developing as players and individuals. 

Above all, we take the greatest joy in seeing our players thrive and simply enjoy the game of football.
