We are a well established and friendly youth football club based in Hitchin. We run children's and youth football teams at several age groups. Our teams play in the Hertfordshire Development League, Royston Crow Youth Football League and Mid Herts Rural Minors League, with our players representing the club in either mini-soccer, 9 a-side or 11 a-side football matches.
The club has been awarded FA Charter Standard accreditation, confirming our commitment to providing a high quality, safe and fun football experience for all children and parents who choose to be involved with us. All coaching is by qualified coaches and each have been screened for their suitability for working with young people.
The club have grown in size over the years thanks to strong support and contribution from parents. Indeed all of our current teams were established, and are now coached by parents who originally expressed an interest in getting involved with the club. They now help us provide the opportunity for hundreds of children to play football in a fun environment. We have built great relationships in the local community and have a reputation for our friendliness and fairness.
If you are interested in joining us and running a team, please contact any one of the management team and we will happily discuss what's involved, if its right for you, and how we can provide ongoing support. See the links above for details of our existing teams and age groups.
MINI FOOTBALLERS UNDER 7
FC Comets do not run teams at this age and believe firmly that very young players should start their footballing journey through fun based learning in an environment which will develop their love of the beautiful game. This we believe is best provided by our chosen partners "Grassroots soccer schools" who have been responsible for providing the footballing foundation for many young Comets over recent years. Grassroots run weekly sessions on Saturday mornings and through school holidays at St Christopher's School in Letchworth. We know that young footballers will gain great experience here before coming back to the Comets family and beginning the next stage of their footballing adventure. Full details can be found by visiting their website at Grassroots.
