Community Youth
Football Club
Welcome to the Tekkers Under 12s. A club built on passion, development, teamwork and enjoyment of the game.
Our players are at an exciting stage of their football journey, where learning, confidence and game understanding come together in a competitive but supportive environment. We focus on helping every player improve their skills, embrace challenges, and develop both on and off the pitch.
At Tekkers, we believe football is about more than results. It's about creating friendships, building character, encouraging respect, and giving every child the opportunity to thrive as part of a positive team culture. Supported by dedicated coaches, volunteers and families, our Under 12s are proud to represent the club and our community.
Your Team
Welcome to our "Meet the Team" section, where you can get to know the coaches, and volunteers who make our Under 12s team such a special group.
Built on teamwork, respect, hard work, and a love of football, we are supported by a talented coaching and back office team committed to helping every child develop both on and off the pitch.

Keeping Our Young People Safe
At Tekkers, the safety and wellbeing of our young players is always our priority.
Football should be a place where children feel safe, supported, respected and able to enjoy themselves. We recognise that sometimes children and young people may have worries or concerns that they don't feel able to talk about with someone they know.
If you or your child ever needs advice, support or someone to talk to, the organisations below provide confidential help and guidance.
NSPCC
The NSPCC provides advice and support to children, young people and adults concerned about a child's safety or wellbeing.
Childline
Childline is a free, private and confidential service for anyone under 19. Children can talk about anything that is worrying them, big or small, by phone or online.
CEOP
If a child or young person is worried about something that has happened to them online, or someone they have met online, CEOP provides advice and a way to report concerns about online sexual abuse.
