Our Story
Official Status & Safety
AFC Norton Woodseats is proud to be an FA Affiliated grassroots football club and a registered Non-Profit Organisation.
All Coaches are FA DBS Compliant
Every bit of support, sponsorship, and effort goes directly back into our community and the development of our young players. We maintain strict safeguarding standards, ensuring every coach across all age groups holds a valid FA DBS check.
AFC Norton Woodseats was born in 2016 from a simple yet powerful idea: to create a football club that puts community and player development first. A group of local parents, driven by a shared passion for the game, wanted to build more than just a team. They envisioned a safe, inclusive, and encouraging space for the children of Norton, Woodseats, Greenhill, and the surrounding Sheffield areas.
What began as informal kickabouts in a local park quickly blossomed into the structured, volunteer-led club that stands today. We are a proud testament to what community spirit can achieve, built on the belief that grassroots football has the power to unite, inspire, and shape the next generation.
More Than a Game
Our philosophy is clear: football should be a source of joy. We measure success not by the final score, but by the smiles on our players' faces and their growth as individuals. We are committed to:
- Nurturing Talent: Fostering skill development in a supportive, pressure-free environment for all abilities.
- Building Character: Promoting sportsmanship, respect, and teamwork as our most important values.
- Creating Community: Ensuring every child and parent feels like a valued member of our football family.
