About
Beecholme Belles Banstead, run by Lorraine Kennedy, is your go-to football club in Banstead, Surrey. Since 2000, they've been all about getting girls and women onto the pitch and loving the game.
Lorraine ensures the focus isn’t just on winning but on making sure players grow in confidence and stay healthy. Whether you’re U8 or pushing into your 20s, there’s a team for you. They've got everything from U8s to U18s and even open-age women's teams. The women’s teams play in the SE Counties Tier 7 League (11v11) and the Surrey FA Flexi League (7v7). Funny enough, if you're Year 9, the U14s Pumas squad is still hunting for players.
Training’s on Fridays, with matches on Sundays. They’re always keen on new talent, so if you reckon you’ve got what it takes, get in touch and come meet the crew.
Beecholme Belles is England Football Accredited, ticking all the boxes for player welfare, safeguarding, and fair play. Plus, Lorraine and her team have gone through all the necessary checks to keep things legit. They’ve got your bases covered with a range of welfare policies and are open to whistleblowing to keep transparency high.
Their home ground at Beecholme Recreation Ground isn’t just about football. On match days, there are hot drinks, snacks, and toilets available. Parking can be a bit tight, so if the small car park’s full, try Nork Way or Osier Way and don’t block the neighbours – nobody wants police showing up!
Well-behaved dogs are welcome, but keep them on leads and clean up after them.
For any questions, whether it’s about joining or general inquiries, use the contact form on their website. Lorraine and her team—including Angela the Welfare Officer and Michele the Head of Women's Development—are ready to help.
In short, Lorraine Kennedy's Beecholme Belles Banstead is all about giving girls and women a cracking time on the pitch, promoting player well-being, and sticking to FA rules for a safe and fun environment.
