OUR PLAYING AND TRAINING KIT, AND EQUIPMENT POLICY
The following information explains Sherwood Football Club’s (SFC) policy and procedures relating to playing and training equipment, including strips. It is intended to inform our coaches and managers.
General Principles
- New/recycled equipment and strips will be provided by SFC to new U7 teams only (see below).
- New sets of balls will ONLY be provided where teams move up a size e.g. U10 (size 3) to U11 (size 4).
Replacements due to losses and damage are to be funded by individual teams. This could be done by increasing your monthly subs to cover the cost of new equipment. - Teams are expected to secure their own funding for new equipment and kit via sponsorship (See note below).
Sponsorship
Teams should seek sponsorship for their kits. This could come from a local company or individual (a generous parent!?). There are several spaces available on the shirt for a sponsors logo – main front, back lower, and back upper.

Shirts (outfield) and shorts must be purchased in batches of 10.
