Welcome again! We’re running football sessions at Marlborough Sports Garden!
Southwark’s much-loved outdoor space is buzzing with energy as football season returns. Our free sessions are open to all skill levels, creating a safe, inclusive, and friendly environment for children and teens to get active, have fun, and build confidence through the beautiful game.
As the world enjoys thrilling football action: from the Women’s Super League and Women’s EURO 2025 to big domestic tournaments like the League Cup and Scottish Cup, there’s never been a better time to get involved.
We’ve loved watching incredible teams and players lighting up the pitch these past few weeks, from England’s dramatic Euro 2025 victory over Spain, to Chelsea’s Women’s League Cup win and Manchester City’s edge-of-your-seat 3-2 against Arsenal. Football is thriving at every level, and it’s inspiring to see young people in Southwark taking part too.
