We are a thriving FA Charter Standard Club based in Rushden, Northants.  The club was formed in 2001 by Martin Atkinson and Daryl Chambers, both of whom are still part of the club today.  The 2011-12 season sees the club celebrating it's tenth anniversary.

We have grown year on year and 2011-12 will be our biggest yet as we field sixteen squads with ages ranging from our Development Section, for Reception and Year One pupils, through to the Under 15's, Year Ten pupils and onto the Veterans.

We field squads in the Weetabix League from Under 7 to Under 15; the Veterans play in the Northamptonshire FA Veterans Cup and friendly matches against other Veteran teams from across Northants.  Our Development section is built around the club principles that football should be fun and it's a great place for young children to learn the game in an atmosphere they can thrive.

We train at various sites in and around Rushden.  The details are on the squad pages.  Our squads also take advantage of the Astroturf facilities offered at Wollaston, Wellingborough and Raunds in the Winter.  It's still a poor do that a town the size of Rushden has nothing to offer.

We have high standards at South Rushden, we try to keep fees low, while keeping quality high.  We are very lucky that the reputation we have built up over ten years allows us to develop relationships with major commercial partners, you can see just who has recognised the work we do on the Sponsors Page.

We insist that all our coaching staff are CRB checked before they start working with our players.  Our squads are all coached by FA Qualified coaches and we encourage our coaches to increase their knowledge and thereby enhance our players footballing experience by keeping qualifications up to date and attending coaching events, our coaches give their time for this willingly.

Off the pitch we became a Community Interest Company in May 2007, this was a big but important step to take as we continue to strive to meet our long-term aim of having our own permanent club house and being able to provide the children of Rushden, and their parents with a safe and affordable place to develop and enjoy their football.

In January 2012 we announced an historic Community Football partnership with AFC Rushden & Diamonds, together we are confident that we can improve football facilities in Rushden and give players a chance to be part of a Community Football Venture whatever their age and ability.  Visit the AFC Rushden & Diamonds website here
