It’s been a tough year for us all, but two Southwell City dads will be looking to start the new year in a positive way this Saturday. They, and a few of their friends, will be seeing in 2021 by running 21k to raise funds for Newark Foodbank. The route will be in and around Southwell and Farnsfield.

Aidy Kumar and Holger Kessler are parents of two City U16’s player and were originally hoping to raise £600 for the local charity. At time of writing, they had already achieved this with just 25 pledges! But, they still welcome donations, not matter how small, and it would be great if we could really push this total up.

If you would like to support Aidy and Holger in raising funds for Newark Foodbank, please visit their Just Giving page to make your donation.

UPDATE: Also running are Jude Jarvis (who is a City Mum!), Amanda Banks, Chris Skelton and James Smith. Good luck to them all!

Southwell City is pleased to announce that we will be offering online training for all of our players during lockdown. We will be running three sessions a week, in collaboration with our partner, Canoville Coaching. These FREE OF CHARGE sessions for our players are run via Zoom and take place on w/c 9th, 16th and 23rd November. Hopefully we will then be allowed to resume training as normal.

The sessions will be mixed groups (girls/boys/ages) and consist of a live 30-minute football related exercise drill. All attendees will also receive a YouTube link to a 30-minute Canoville Coaching training drills session. The groups will be:

– U6 – U9’s – Thursdays with Lawrence 5.45 to 6.15 pm
– U10 – U12’s – Tuesdays with Henri  6.00 – 6.30 pm
– U13’s and above – Tuesdays with Henri  6.45 – 7.15 pm

The club will email the Zoom links before each week’s session. Attendees should ensure they join the sessions on time and with microphones muted.

We hope you agree that this is a really positive opportunity for the players to continue with some football training during these difficult times.

Thank you & stay safe!

Southwell City F.C. U9’s Sharks have had a fantastic start to the new football season. They are unbeaten in their first four games, scoring 13 goals and conceding just 7.

However, it is not all about results for the coach Martin Russell. He is enjoying managing a group of local boys that has a fantastic team spirit. For him, making sure that the players are enjoying their football and playing for fun is the top priority.

All of the team send out massive thanks to sponsors East Midlands Carpets Ltd (EMC) and HAE Group for the team’s new kit, which looks great and was supplied by Sportstar of Southwell.

The club is pleased to announce that competitive training and matches can now be allowed, following the issuing of new FA guidance.

We have produced four documents designed to keep matters simple. These can be shared with parents, other opposition coaches, etc, as needed.

All City coaches will be required to attend a Zoom meeting with the Club Welfare Officer, Richard Miller, before any matches take place. Invites will be sent out shortly.

The following documents will need to be read before the meeting.

• SCFC Covid Charter – July 2020 – this is similar to our players charter and will be our Love Admin consent document.
• SCFC Player Code of Behaviour – this guide for players/parents can be released to parents ahead of games.
• Manager Coach Return to Football – the guide for managers, coaches and assistants.
• COVID-19 First Aid Guide is the one with most change for us but hopefully all straight forward.

The club will provide the required PPE packs and a top up system will be organised.

Managers and coaches of City teams should contact any exec committee member if they have any questions about any of the above.

League Risk Assessments

Our risk assessments can be found here:

• Juniors Risk Assessment – Young Elizabethan League and Nottinghamshire Girls and Ladies Football League
