Celebrating 10 Years of Slade Green Knights FC

Celebrating 10 Years of Slade Green Knights FC

Andrew Lowrey23 Jul - 19:45

Ten years of helping local players grow, on and off the pitch.

This year marks a special milestone: 10 years since Slade Green Knights Football Club was founded.

Back in 2015, the club began with a simple but powerful idea: to give everyone in Slade Green the chance to play football. What started with one team has grown into something much bigger, with 11 teams potentially competing in the Selkent league in the 25/26 season.

Over the past decade, Slade Green Knights has welcomed boys and girls of all abilities. We’ve created opportunities for players of all ages, and this year we’ve added even more teams, including a new men’s team and additional youth teams from under-7s upward.

We’ve always believed football should be open to everyone. That means giving players a safe place to train, grow, and enjoy the game, whether they're playing for the first time or chasing long-term goals.

Yesterday’s win for the Lionesses was a reminder of how far women’s football has come. At Slade Green, we’re proud to have embraced that progress too. Our girls’ team is growing each season, and we’re committed to giving girls just as much opportunity to play, train, and enjoy the game as the boys. From our youngest players to our teenage teams, we want to make sure everyone feels included and supported.

Slade Green Knights is run entirely by volunteers. Our coaches, managers, and helpers give their time because they believe in what this club stands for. Every training session, matchday, and team talk happens thanks to their energy and commitment.

Special thanks goes to Mel, whose passion helped create this club 10 years ago and who continues to play a central role today.

Looking Ahead:
With more teams than ever, new players joining, and a real sense of momentum, the next 10 years look bright. Whether you're a parent, a player, or someone who simply believes in grassroots sport, we’d love you to be part of our journey.
