Year 2 & 3 Football Club
Farnborough FC’s goals are to develop skilled, confident and creative players;
make the game fun to practise and play; teach good sportsmanship, respect for
all and value winning without having to sacrifice character or performance.
• If your son is in a Session 3 activity he will spend between 4.15 pm and 5.00
pm in prep class. (In these cases he will automatically be placed on the
register)
• The group allocation for both Cricket and Tennis will be ability based,
grouping together boys of similar levels. This will, hopefully, allow the
coaches to provide more specific coaching to benefit each boy’s development.
• For activities such as Basketball & Judo where we run a number of sessions,
priority for the earlier sessions will be given to the younger age groups. As a
result boys in Years 5-8 may often find themselves being allocated Session 3.

external member of staff please e-mail activities@lanesborough.surrey.sch.uk.
• The Pick Up point for each activity will be the Club’s venue, NOT the Chinese
Gates.
