Find Out More About Our Teams
Letchworth Garden City Eagles FC is proud to be one of the largest and most inclusive football clubs in the region, with over 600 players across all age groups — from toddlers taking their first kick of the ball to senior players representing the club at Step 6 of the National League System.
Our setup is designed to provide every player, regardless of age or ability, the opportunity to grow, develop and enjoy their football journey in a positive, safe, and community-focused environment.
Saturday Soccer School (Ages 3–7)
Our club journey starts with the Saturday Morning Soccer School, run by our UEFA-qualified coaches and dedicated volunteers. Designed for boys and girls aged 3 to 7, this is where future Eagles stars take their first steps in football.
It’s all about fun, fundamentals, and friendships, helping children learn the basics through age-appropriate sessions that encourage coordination, teamwork, and a love for the game. Many of our current youth team players – and even some of our senior players – began here.
Sessions run weekly at The County Ground on Baldock Road, and there’s no need to commit to a full season up front. Just turn up, sign in, and play.
Youth Teams (U7–U18)
Letchworth Eagles has grown to include almost 50 youth teams, offering football for boys and girls across every age group from U7 to U18.
Our teams compete in a variety of well-respected leagues across the region, including:
- Royston Crow Youth League
- Mid Herts Rural Minors League (MHRL)
- Herts Girls Partnership League (HGPL)
- Eastern Junior Alliance (EJA)
- Junior Premier League (JPL)
- Southern Counties Floodlit Youth League (SCFYL)
With regular training sessions, dedicated coaches, and structured pathways in place, we aim to create an environment where young players can not only enjoy their football but also progress at the level that’s right for them — whether that’s development-based or performance-driven.
We pride ourselves on offering inclusive football for all, while also helping high-potential players access elite level opportunities through our EJA and JPL teams.
Girls’ Football
Our girls’ section continues to grow year-on-year. With teams across various age groups, we’re passionate about giving girls the platform and support to shine. Many of our female players also go on to represent the club at senior level, progressing into the Letchworth Eagles Women’s First Team.
U21s & U23s: Bridging the Gap
Our U21 and U23 teams are a crucial part of our club’s player pathway, designed to bridge the gap between youth football and the senior game.
These teams offer competitive football in structured adult leagues, with opportunities to train and progress toward our senior squads. It’s ideal for players who want to continue developing after U18s while staying connected to a club that knows their journey.
Women’s First Team
Our Women’s First Team offers adult female players a high-level football environment with regular training, competitive fixtures, and a strong sense of togetherness.
The team is an important part of our club’s long-term strategy to develop the women’s game and provide genuine progression for our younger female players.
Be Part of Something Bigger
With over 600 players, 100+ coaches and volunteers, and a full calendar of matches, training, community events and club activities, Letchworth Garden City Eagles isn’t just about football — it’s about creating something bigger.
Whether you’re a parent of a budding superstar, a player looking for the next challenge, or a supporter cheering from the sidelines, there’s a place for everyone at LGCE.
