Due to the vast amount of players returning this year we have had to now close registration for both the Super 5s & Junior 7s age groups.

We are still going to run a waiting list so if you have not been able to register your child please contact the club to add your child to the waiting list.

ALL FOOTBALL CANCELLED

Due to the weather last night and the rain not due to stop today we have taken the decision to cancel today’s football.

We look forward to next Sunday’s Mid-Season Tournament.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

The club would just like to thank everyone who attended our Family Bingo Night on Saturday. 

We were just overwhelmed with the support from the local community, with over 150 people in attendance on the night. 

The night comprised of 8 games of bingo, prizes for one line, two lines and full house. Ranging from Easter eggs for winning one line to an overnight stay for 2 at Clunybank Hotel with breakfast, for our final full house. 

We would like to thank the following companies for donating prizes to our bingo and fantastic raffle, who were:

The Mosset Tavern

Forres Tattoo Shop

Clunybank hotel 

Cafe 1496

Findhorn Bakery

Wright’s Home Hardware

Tesco Elgin

Moray Waste Busters

Forres Golf Club 

Ann Ewing Hairdresser 

The Crazy Cake Lady Moray

Murdoch’s Butchers

Fraser Brothers Butchers

We raised a massive £1463 in total, which will go into the club funds and go towards this years events to help celebrate our 30th year anniversary. 

Kind regards

We are looking for assistants to help the team coaches on match days and training. No football experience required.

If you are able to assist then please contact the club.

Don’t forget there is still time to register for the 2023 season ⚽️⚽️⚽️

It is with deep regret that Forres Area Soccer 7’s remain unable to offer football activities to the youngsters of Forres and surrounding areas. The health and well-being of our players, spectators and last but not least volunteers is of paramount importance and it is essential that we follow the guidance as laid down by the relevant authorities.

Further to the announcements previously made by the SYFA regarding matches/training and the announcement by the Scottish Government regarding school closures, Forres Area Soccer 7’s appear to be ‘out of action’ certainly for the foreseeable future. We will continue to monitor updates released by the authorities and we will endeavour to update you all on a regular basis and have our club up and running again as soon as possible, bigger and better than ever.

As you are probably aware, Forres Area Soccer 7’s is a registered charity in Scotland and as such operates entirely on annual player memberships, local sponsorship and local donations. With this is mind, the board at Forres Area Soccer 7’s always attempt to keep the club as community orientated as possible; the club would like to remind the community that we are still here and willing to help those in need if we can. If you do need assistance and you think we may be able to help please do not hesitate to contact us, we will help where we can.

I’m sure you all will agree that this is going to be a difficult period for us all for a variety of reasons including financial difficulty for some. Although this will also be an extremely financially testing time for Forres Area Soccer 7’s, the board have decided to offer full refunds to those of you that need or wish this. If you wish to request a refund, please do not hesitate in contacting the club to arrange this.

The board at Soccer 7’s wish to thank you all for your continued support, both financially and for helping us make Forres Area Soccer 7’s the fantastic club that it is.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Soccer 7s will be back
