About Us
Where it all began
Welcome to the official website of Ottershaw Junior Football Club (Ottershaw JFC). We are a new club, having only become affiliated in August 2022.
As an inclusive and friendly community-focused junior football club based in Ottershaw, Surrey, our aim is to provide a safe and happy environment for children to enjoy playing football and making new friends.
While our roots are in Ottershaw CofE Infants & Junior Schools, we welcome any children from the local area who are interested in children's football.
The safety and enjoyment of the children are paramount to us; therefore, all our football coaches either have or are working towards FA recognised qualifications (L1CCF & above) and have passed the relevant criminal record (DBS) and safeguarding checks. Our team and its players are regulated by the Surrey FA.
The feedback from coaches, parents, the community, and most importantly, the children from our first-ever team has been incredibly positive. We are proud of what we have achieved in such a short time, generating healthy levels of interest in Ottershaw football from younger age groups, so please watch this space or contact us for more information.
Our Teams
At our junior football club, we currently have 5 teams for the 2025-26 season: under 12s, 10s, 8s, 6s, and U5s Otterpups, all part of the Ottershaw football community. If you're interested in registering your child's interest in our children's football programs or would like to become a volunteer coach, please contact us.

Meet The Committee
Stuart Moore – Chair
Primary teacher with over 9 years’ experience. FA Level 2 coach with over 12 years of experience coaching both children and adults in sports, particularly in children's football.
After completing his teacher training, Stuart moved from Warwickshire to Surrey, seeking a new footballing endeavor to satisfy his passion for the sport. He reached out to the local FA and explored social media, where he quickly found a competitive men’s football club looking for a qualified coach. Jack, our founding member and the Chairman and manager of Ottershaw Football Club, was eager to collaborate. After a couple of years and navigating through the challenges of covid, we recognized a fantastic opportunity to establish a local junior football club. The rest, as they say, is history, leading to the formation of Ottershaw JFC.
Jack Webb – Founding Member
As a Sports Science graduate and physiology post grad with 9 years of experience in coaching, sports science, and analysis roles, I have a solid foundation in children's football. My previous role at AFC Wimbledon and my time as the manager of the Ottershaw adult side have shaped my coaching philosophy. Currently, I am proud to serve as the head coach at Dial Square FC. What started as a group of kids having a kick about has rapidly transformed into a well-organized junior football club. This experience offers a fresh perspective on football that differs from the competitive adult environment I am used to. It has been a pleasure to watch our junior players at Ottershaw JFC develop and enjoy football in a safe and well-run environment. I am excited to continue this journey as we progress our current players and recruit new age brackets in Ottershaw football.
Andy Mackintosh – Vice Chair
Andy started coaching children's football back in 2005 when he passed his first coaching qualifications. Driven by his passion for the game, he wanted to get back involved in football after moving to Ottershaw and witnessing his son’s impressive development at Ottershaw JFC, the local junior football club. With his son now in the under 11s and his daughter in the under 7s, it was a natural progression for him to help manage the under 7 side.
Colin Williams – Vice Chair Colin has 2 boys who attended Ottershaw infants and junior schools, one of whom currently plays for Ottershaw JFC, the local junior football club. He has lived in the Ottershaw area for over 16 years. As an FA qualified coach, Colin is a positive motivator and is well-liked among the team for often acting like a child, despite his advancing years!
Vicky Glover – Treasurer
Vicky has lived in Ottershaw for over 16 years and has 3 children, one of whom currently plays for the Ottershaw JFC, our local junior football club. As an ACA qualified accountant, she manages the finances and numbers for the club, ensuring the smooth operation of children's football in Ottershaw.
Laura Barton-Wright - Club Secretary
Laura has lived in Ottershaw for 12 years. Her oldest son has been warmly welcomed at the Ottershaw JFC, where he has made a whole team of new friends through children's football. With a commercial background, Laura efficiently handles the admin tasks for the junior football club, contributing to the growth of Ottershaw football.
