Barnstaple based, Eastside AFC Youth Football Club ...

Barnstaple based, Eastside AFC Youth Football Club is a grass roots level football club. The club is affiliated to the North Devon Youth League and The Devon FA and is run by a group of committed volunteer parents, qualified FA Level 1 coaches who are CRC checked (formally known as CRB/DBS). In addition each coach has Safeguarding and First Aid training.

The overarching principle of the Eastside Youth Football Club when it was set up in Barnstaple, was to encourage diversity and inclusiveness in a fun, effective and safe environment. Where possible, the club's main aim is for children to have the opportunity to play competitive football at an affordable price. It is important to us at Eastside to continue to provide affordable youth football to the children in our community without compromising on the level of coaching.

Players who wear glasses: In light of the recent FA ruling regarding wearing glasses whilst playing football. Club members should come prepared with their sports goggles i.e. fully framed, strap around the head, toughened glass and no sharp areas. It will be at the referee’s discretion as to whether they allow a child wearing 'normal' glasses to play in any matches. For more information on Sports Goggles go to eyekit.com

Under Garments: By FA ruling the colour of a player's base-layer has to be the same colour as the main sleeve on the football shirt and the bottom to be the main colour of the shorts. You may have to remove these garments at the referee's request if your base-layer is not the correct colour.

Shin Pads: must be worn for training and matches and our coaches will monitor this - No shin pads; no play.!
