Old Actonians Boys Football Club

Love playing football Come and be part of it

From a first kick at six or seven to competitive football through the teenage years, Old Actonians gives young players a place to enjoy their football, improve their game and grow as part of a team. The football is ambitious, but fun stays at the heart of every session.

Train improve and compete

Our FA qualified coaches run fun, engaging sessions that develop skills, confidence and understanding of the game. Young beginners can start with us from six, while players joining older age groups can train with the squad until they are ready for competitive matches. Teams play in the Harrow Youth Football League and associated junior leagues, with cup, league and county football from Under 12s upwards.

Good players and great teammates

We want children to become better footballers and dependable teammates. They learn to work together, support one another, compete fairly, win with humility and lose with grace. It is a friendly, competitive environment where every player is valued and encouraged to improve.

Football the whole family can enjoy

Saturday morning training and Sunday morning matches give the week a rhythm that players and parents look forward to. Teammates, coaches and families share the experience, and the wider Sports Club offers badminton, cricket, rugby, netball, tennis, table tennis, squash and adult football too.
