Bromley FC Youth is a voluntary organisation set up to provide grassroots football for local talented players, whilst supporting the Senior Club in developing young players who may have the potential to play professionally for Bromley FC.  When signing, you are joining a club that holds two things dear – that football should be fun and that players should always seek to improve themselves. 

Our philosophy is that players sign for the Club, not individual teams.  We manage multiple teams at most age groups and believe that players should play alongside and against players of similar abilities.  We therefore operate a review system throughout the Club that may mean players moving between teams within his or her age group. 

When signing, a player is committing to train regularly and be available to play at any time on a Sunday. That player is also accepting the Club’s review policy and understands that he or she may move teams, usually between seasons, though at mini-soccer age groups (U7-U10), potentially during the season.

 

 

Player Guidelines 2025/26

On the following pages are guidelines on how Bromley FC wish its players, parents and spectators to conduct themselves, both in their appearance and their attitude. Every player is seen as an ambassador for the Club, not only by Bromley FC but also visiting teams and officials. Each manager is responsible for each team promoting Bromley FC by having their squad behave in a manner that the Club would expect from visiting teams.

If a player plays Saturday football as well as Sundays, then the manager may limit game time to manage fatigue or based on any injury concerns.

Kit should be worn as requested by your manager, must be clean, and should be worn in a presentable manner, i.e. shirts tucked in & clean footwear. 

Mobile Phones to be switched off at training and matches. 

Arriving late for games, or just not turning up is not acceptable. Always contact your manager beforehand. 

Bookings and sending offs that result in a ban, or for dissent, may incur a fine from the Club, as well as the fine levied for the offence by the FA or respective League.  We reserve the right to recharge such fines to the players parents/guardians. 

At all times players should be courteous to all Bromley FC officials, opposing officials, other players and match officials. Failure to comply with this may result in a player being suspended, or released. A player’s registration would be held by Bromley FC until all outstanding accounts were settled. 

The team captain is the manager’s voice on the pitch. He/she has the authority to instruct and direct the play on the manager’s behalf. Players will act courteously to his/her instructions. 

Any rubbish must be taken with you and not left pitch side after games or training.

No loud music to be played inside or directly outside of either training or match venues, or the Bromley Arena

Any player walking off the pitch during a match will be suspended by the Club, or released.

Respect Codes of Conduct

Football is the national game. All those involved with the game at every level and whether as a player, match official, coach, owner or administrator, have a responsibility, above and beyond compliance with the law, to act according to the highest standards of integrity, and to ensure that the reputation of the game is, and remains, high. This code applies to all those involved in football under the auspices of The Football Association. Community Football, at all levels, is a vital part of a community. Football will take into account community feeling when making decisions.

Discrimination - Bromley FC is committed to tackling all forms of discrimination including racism, homophobia, disability, and has a zero tolerance policy to behaviour of this type. If anyone connected to the club is found guilty of any form of discrimination then they will be asked to leave along with any family members.

Equality - Football is opposed to discrimination of any form and will promote measures to prevent it, in whatever form, from being expressed.

Participants - Football recognises the sense of ownership felt by those who participate at all levels of the game. This includes those who play, those who coach or help in any way, and those who officiate, as well as administrators and supporters. Football is committed to appropriate consultation.

Young People - Football acknowledges the extent of its influence over young people and pledges to set a positive example. Propriety Football acknowledges that public confidence demands the highest standards of financial and administrative behaviour within the game, and will not tolerate corruption or improper practices.

Referees a vital part of being able to put on the 1000+ games we have per season and we are keen to support all referees in the game, they must be shown our full respect and consideration. It is important to remember that many are under the age of 18 are still minors, they will normally be distinguished by a yellow armband, this is a reminder to everyone that the referee is still subject to childrens safeguarding legislation, and should therefore be protected, encouraged, and treated with the utmost respect.

We have to understand that referees will make mistakes just like the young players they are refereeing; remember, they are human and have to make a quick decision in a split second. This is all part of their development, and the club would ask that you never, ever confront a referee either during or after a match, please refer any concerns to the committee via the club secretary in the first instance.

We wish to create, a safe and positive environment to support the young, developing referees so they stay committed and passionate about the game for many years.

Trust and Respect - Football will uphold a relationship of trust and respect between all involved in the game, whether they are individuals, clubs or other organisations.

Violence - Football rejects the use of violence of any nature by anyone involved in the game. Fairness Football is committed to fairness in its dealings with all involved in the game.

Integrity and Fair Play - Football is committed to the principle of playing to win consistent with Fair Play.

‘SWEARING – Let’s Tackle It’

Bromley FC supports this initiative from the Kent FA Youth Council. This collaboration with Fixers UK, a charity which supports young people across the UK to take action and change things for the better, supports the tackling foul and abusive language in the game.

Kit Order Information

Players signing for 2025/2026 season by the 1st July 2025 are able to order next season’s kit in their own size by FULLY completing the form below as part of your registration pack. Forms submitted after this date will be subject to possible delays and/or some sizes no longer being available. Kit ordered after 1st July 2025 needs to be coordinated via the Team Manager.

Macron will supply this season’s kit.  There will be both a unisex/Male kit and a Female kit this year.  

Please use the relevant sizing chart when measuring the player. Note the GK kits will be long sleeved. 

Please ensure you measure your son/daughter and use the Macron size guide and DO NOT use your previous seasons kit as a guide (as the Kappa kit is a different fit to Macron). 

The chest measurement of the actual shirt is slightly larger than the sizing in the guide. This allows for comfort and some growth.

Note: The Female shirts are shorter than the equivalent Unisex/Male shirt.

Shirts in all sizes (Male and Female) will be made available at both presentation and registration events over the coming weeks.  If you are able to attend, you can use these events to try shirts on your Son/Daughter
