Teams
Buntingford Cougars encourages young people to enjoy playing football. By being part of a team, children have fun and learn the value of working together – whatever their ability. In many of our 7 a-side teams, every child gets the opportunity to score a goal during a season. And it’s exactly that sense of achievement and excitement we want everyone on our teams to have. We create a safe and positive environment where young people can improve their sporting skills and their confidence. To find out more, have a look at the different age groups.
Children playing for u7’s to u10’s play with 7 on the pitch - sometimes called mini-soccer. The pitches, goals and footballs are smaller to suit them. From u11’s teams upwards, children play with 11 on the pitch and the pitches, goals and footballs are appropriate to their age.
