About Ballers SE FC

Ballers SE FC was established in 2023 by Jason Mensah & Lisa Spokes, Co Founders.

Our club is based in Forest Hill/Sydenham and we have joined the Selkent League (Sunday League). All players welcome.

Each team trains at our 3G pitch twice a week at Kangley Bridge Road under the supervision of our FA qualified and dedicated coaches/managers. Each team manager is a FA Qualified Coach with an enhanced DBS who has spent time with their team and built a good relationship. Our coaches/managers get to know each child individually and is aware of their strengths and weaknesses which in turn enables them to create a tailor-made plan on how to progress each player to the next level.  

The team at Ballers SE consider our players and parents alike to be family and it is a privilege to be able to coach and mentor so many children through football – #ballersfamily

Ballers SE

OUR AIM

Ballers SE is an inclusive club, therefore all our teams are made up of children who had never played in a football environment as well as children who have moved teams to join us.

Ability varies from children who have tried out for their District and who play for their school team.

The Coaches/Managers at Ballers SE have a professional, nurturing and compassionate approach to coaching.

Our Ethos is to “invest in the youth” and instill the belief in our players that hard work and commitment is vital to succeed not just in football but all parts of life.

As a Club we feel that not only can we teach your child how to play football we also include life skills by applying the following to our training/matches:- 

  • Give each child the confidence to play
  • Play a role as part of a team 
  • Be respectful to each other 
  • Good sportsmanship, win or lose 

If Ballers SE is the club for your child
