Nottingham Football Teams - Beeston.biz FC
New Year, New Players! Welcome to Jay, Ollie and Naz who all came to our Wednesday evening session for the first time this week. It's great to see some of our students back in action after the winter holidays as well. If you would like to join the most exciting team in Nottingham please email our recruitment rep and attend our next Wednesday evening session. It doesn't stop at football, as we also run many social events all year round and other various sporting activities. As a member of the club you can gain access to our - Facebook Group - where news and events are posted daily. You may even find some interesting photos of our squad members scattered around. We look forward to seeing you at our next session.
Beeston.Biz FC
League Form 2011/2012: ---DWLWWWLWWDDWWL
Our 'first' team are playing in the - NSFL - and competing in the Senior Two Division. After a steady season last year we are looking to add strength and depth to an already talented team to push for promotion - and we're currently in the top four in the league. At the end of last season we had a very successful End of Season Awards Night where over 20 trophies and medals were handed out. If you find yourself becoming a reagular 'Biz' member you may even find yourself on our player profile page (please note: we don't hold back!)
Beeston.Biz Reserves FC
League Form 2011/2012: ---LLWWLLLDWLWLWDWL
Our new team also compete in the - Nottingham Sunday Football League - in the Senior Three Division, together with a lot of new teams also joining the league for the first time this year. Our mid-table league position is thanks to some very good recent performances. We're now looking for a couple of new players, including midfielders (in particular a good winger) and a replacement central defender after one of our senior squad members picked up an injury a few weeks ago that could keep him out of action for most of this season. Please see the - League Website - for latest results and forthcoming fixtures.
Football Training - Wednesday Evenings
We train every Wednesday night from 8pm onwards and our dedicated training organisers aim to help improve fitness, football basics and ball skills whilst keeping the sessions relaxed and enjoyable. All evening 'training' sessions are varied to get the most out of every player. We usually start with some running and fitness drills to warm up before playing some small matches followed by a full 11 v 11 game to help both of our teams with some valuable match practice. Sessions usually run for about 2 hours and then we go to the local pub afterwards for a well-earned drink. If you would like to attend a session please email now!
All of our existing squad members and new players are welcome at our popular midweek training sessions - which as well as being great fun, are an excellent way to improve your fitness, meet new people and socialise. We try to vary the location to keep costs to each player as low as possible and if you are unsure about playing and not sure if it is for you we always provide your first session free of charge.
Each Player Must Bring £3 Subs And Their Own Kit To Training, Including Shin Pads. Although we nearly always have a couple of pairs of spare socks and shinpads with us, we ask that all football players bring their own kit if at all possible (or let us know in advance if you need to borrow some kit). So when you come to training, please bring the following with you:
Shin Pads, Socks and Shorts or tracksuit trousers
Training top and/or suitable football shirt / t-shirt
Good pair of trainers or boots with plastic moulded studs*
£3 per player in correct change in coins
Water bottle or drink (we normally take water bottles but not always)
*In summer we play on hard, grass pitches which don't usually 'take a stud' easily, so most of the players have astro-style trainers (not blades, which often cause twisted ankle injuries on hard playing surfaces). A pair of football trainers with good grip or boots can usually be bought at well known local sports retailers for between 10 and 20 pounds. Obviously the weather will affect what sort of trainers or boots will be best so please use your own judgement and come to training well prepared!
We provide training equipment such as marker cones, whistles, bibs, posts, balls and first aid kit. All players should note that the club does not have extensive insurance cover for accident or injury, so you should have your own individual insurance, particularly if you have a job that you could no longer do after being injured playing football.
Lifts for players who don't drive are arranged using our Facebook Group page, or by email. Lifts from various points are often available. A number of lads get the bus from town (Nottingham city centre) and some of the others bike it there.
