Southside
Wildcats FC play in the Cheltenham Youth League under 13 division. We
were formed in 2005 with a mixture of players drawn from the Southside
Lions + Southside Tigers teams who ‘would not get much
football’, plus 1 or 2 newcomers. Our philosophy is football
for everyone, with the emphasis very much on enjoyment, team spirit and
learning.
To that end trips to Premiership matches, Cheltenham Town FC matches,
ten pin bowling, lazer quest, Zip wire/ outdoor activity day,
Windsurfing day and social events allow the players to bond and enjoy
being part of a team.
This ethos has now been recognised by our fellow league members, as the
Wildcats have been voted the most sporting team in the division for
season 2005/06 and 2006/07, and thereby collecting the Sportsmanship
Trophy in both our inaugural and second seasons.
Gloucestershire FA has also awarded the
Wildcats the sportsmanship award for all the affiliated leagues in the
County for season 2006/2007.
