Southside Football Club is one of the largest Football Clubs in the County and operates as a non-profitable organisation dedicated to promoting fair play and providing a safe environment for its 300+ players. The club continues to grow and grow and currently has 17+ teams which includes youth teams from under-6s right through to Under-16s, girls’ teams and the men's XI.

            We are proud of the tremendous support we get from parents and assistants, who give up their time to promote football for all, ensuring that the players get the maximum possible enjoyment out of their game. We also give huge big thank you to our wide range of sponsors who contribute greatly to help finance various kit purchases and equipment. 

            The club was formed in 1994 and name was taken due to the fact it was initially for youngsters from the south side of Cheltenham. In 2002 we achieved our biggest accolade by becoming the first club in Gloucestershire to receive the FA Charter Standard Award.  This award ensures that every one of our officials and assistants comply with FA regulations by completing safety checks in order to work with youngsters. We strive to give officials the opportunity to develop their coaching/managerial skills with a continual training and development plan.

            We host an annual Southside Tournament each summer and invite clubs from near and far to take part. We also celebrate the end of each season with a prestigious Presentation Night. This year we held it in Cheltenham’s Town Hall and 800 people including players, their families and sponsors attended it.
