U11 Mini to Youth Transition
9 a-side football currently commences at the Under 11 age group and continues for the Under 12s. This age group from U11 to U18 is known as Youth Football. Under 10 and below is known as Mini Soccer.
In the local Surrey leagues 9 a-side football is held predominantly on a Sunday, as is 11 a-side which is played from U13. Increasingly, Saturday football has become a more popular option.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This transition period is currently under review at the Oxshott Royals. Previously, our policy was to not support Saturday football. Following feedback from parents and managers, the Club has agreed, for the seasons 2018/19 and 2019/20 to support Saturday football provided the plans are discussed in advance and agreed with the Director of Football, and that it does not noticeably impair the Sunday effort. The Club does not currently have plans to offer Saturday 11 a-side football for the Under 13 age group and above, all football for these age groups will be offered on Sunday only.
