Welcome To Wandsworth Lions FC (WLFC)
Wandsworth Lions Football Club (WLFC) is a FA Chartered Standard football club based in Wandsworth.
​
Our aim is to provide a football club where players within the Wandsworth borough and surrounding areas can get quality coaching and learn how to play the game.
​
A person with a Lions heart is never scared; at WLFC we look to develop young technically-sound players who are brave on the ball and trust in their ability to be able to play the beautiful game in a positive way, never scared to be creative with the ball and hunt for the ball without it.
​
"Technique is not being able to juggle a ball 1000 times. Anyone can do that by practising. Then you can work in the circus. Technique is passing the ball with one touch, with the right speed, at the right foot of your team mate." - Johan Cruff
Centre Of Excellence (WLFC Teams)
Our centre of excellence is invitation only. Children age 6+ (year 2 and over) who excel at the development centre classes or our annual open trials are selected to represent Wandsworth Lions FC in league matches and cup competition. We also look at new players (U9-U14) during our holiday camp.
​
Children selected must be available on Sundays for matches, from September to mid May during the youth football season. If a child is selected to represent the club, they would also need to be available for Tuesday technical training, and Thursday or Friday for tactical training during the youth football period (September to mid May).
​
Training Days:
-
U7-U10 - Tuesdays and Thursdays (both mandatory)
-
U11-U16 - Tuesdays (mandatory), and Fridays (optional)
​
The centre of excellence requires a lot of commitment from parents and children so we select players we believe are committed to football. Our teams participate in the Tandridge Youth League.
