Football for all

Removing barriers to play

We can help

As an inclusive community football club, it’s always our aim to welcome anyone who wants to play their football with us, into our club. We know that in recent years, and especially with the current cost of living crises, cost can become a barrier to accessing club football for some players. We’re addressing this with our new Football for All initiative, by identifying and supporting any individual(s) that could, at times, struggle to meet club fees, so they can continue/start their membership of Canterbury Eagles.

Help with fees

If you’re thinking of either leaving the club or are put off joining because you are concerned about keeping up with payments, please contact your Team Administrator for a confidential chat to see if you are eligible for financial help under our Football for All scheme.

The Boot Room

Sometimes, it’s not just monthly fees that cause financial strain around sporting activities; the rate at which kids’ feet grow can also be tough to keep up with! Our Boot Room offers a range of used football boots and Astro trainers, donated by members, for members, and is accessible to all players. If you’d like to make use of the Boot Room, either to get a pair of boots, or to donate to its stock, please speak to your team manager.
