Moving to a new area

If you've moved home the best way to find which clubs exist in your new area is to contact the local football association. They will be able to provide you with contact details and as they will only be for affiliated clubs you will be starting your search the right way. A quick internet search should get you heading quickly in the right direction.

The local school would be another very valuable source of information. There is every chance that they will have sporting links with the local club. If you want the real inside track you're best bet would be to get into conversation with other parents, however you might need to be wary that you might receive some colourful subjective views. There will be no substitute for judging things for yourself.
