\"The club was originally formed in 1919 by soldiers from the royal engineers returning from the First World War.

Latterly in 2010 we merged an adult club (Ordnance Survey) with a junior club (Granley Rovers) to form the AFC Stoneham that we know today.

WHAT VALUES ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE WITHIN YOUR CLUB?<\/h3>

\"In the 11 years that I've been chairman I would say that the following have become non-negotiable.

Inclusivity is key, our objective was\/is to get young children involved in football. Our doors are open to everyone. 'We don\u2019t trial 7 year olds', if they wish to join AFC Stoneham then we will find them a team.

A very longstanding mission statement is: 'We use the power of football to teach young children key life lessons around respect, communication, timekeeping, winning, losing, hard work and teamwork'. We can't guarantee to make the children premier league footballers however we can, through great role models, instil key life lessons using the power of football that they can utilise for the rest of their lives.

Zero tolerance to bad behaviour from both players and parents. We do take action and if proven those people leave our club very quickly.

We also have a very strong 'One Club' ethos that we aim to maintain.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>"},"borderRadius":{"id":123224213,"value":"#{text.border.radius}"},"textColor":{"id":123224214,"value":"#{text.color}"},"backgroundColour":{"id":123224215,"value":"#0000"},"truncateHeight":{"id":123224216,"value":null},"padding":{"id":123224218,"value":"6"},"fullWidth":{"id":123224219,"value":"0"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":123224220,"value":"#{text.fullBackground.color}"},"published":{"id":123224221,"value":"1"},"conditions":{"id":123224222,"value":"[]"},"template":{"id":125901553,"value":"text"}}},{"id":4904394,"type":"banner","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":10,"items":[],"properties":{"type":{"id":123224223,"value":"standard"},"title":{"id":123224224,"value":null},"copy":{"id":123224225,"value":null},"titleColor":{"id":123224226,"value":"#{banner.title.color}"},"titleBackground":{"id":123224227,"value":"#{banner.title.background.color}"},"copyColor":{"id":123224228,"value":"#{banner.copy.color}"},"copyBackground":{"id":123224229,"value":"#{banner.copy.background.color}"},"contentWidth":{"id":123224230,"value":"95%"},"textShadow":{"id":123224231,"value":"#{banner.text.shadow}"},"borderRadius":{"id":123224232,"value":"0px"},"buttonBorderRadius":{"id":123224233,"value":"#{button.border.radius}"},"buttonBackgroundColor":{"id":123224234,"value":"#{button.primary.color}"},"buttonStyle":{"id":123224235,"value":"secondary"},"buttonSize":{"id":123224236,"value":"standard"},"overlayOpacity":{"id":123224237,"value":"0"},"overlayColourStart":{"id":123224238,"value":"#000000"},"overlayColourEnd":{"id":123224239,"value":"#000000"},"overlayDirection":{"id":123224240,"value":"90"},"image":{"id":123224241,"value":"{\"src\":\"https:\\\/\\\/images.podos.io\\\/jk3jru4xoindwqtczb3swkwo3cbimmoejltla6rqva3lu6rl.jpeg.jpg?w=auto&h=auto&fy=0.32664029476485\",\"alt\":\"\"}"},"video":{"id":123224242,"value":null},"videoThumbnail":{"id":123224243,"value":null},"media":{"id":123224244,"value":"image"},"align":{"id":123224245,"value":"center"},"verticalAlignment":{"id":123224246,"value":"center"},"font":{"id":123224247,"value":"#{heading1.font}"},"actions":{"id":123224248,"value":"[{\"text\":null,\"href\":null},{\"text\":null,\"href\":null}]"},"padding":{"id":123224250,"value":"6"},"fullWidth":{"id":123224251,"value":"1"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":123224252,"value":"#{banner.fullBackground.color}"},"published":{"id":123224253,"value":"1"},"conditions":{"id":123224254,"value":"[]"},"template":{"id":124623836,"value":"banner"}}},{"id":4904395,"type":"textBlock","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":11,"items":[],"properties":{"html":{"id":123224255,"value":"

\"Our club represents the community very well with our inclusivity percentages across all groups being far higher than the community and council tax boundary averages. Like all communities ours is very diverse and this is clearly reflected within AFC Stoneham.<\/p>

The creation of pan-disability groups, girls only sessions, mums recreational sessions, veterans football and of course our increase from one girls team to 34 teams in the last 6 years making us now the second largest girls section in the country.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>

<\/p>

AFC STONEHAM IS ALSO COMPLETELY VOLUNTEER LED AND WITH 160 TEAMS AND THOUSANDS OF PLAYERS AND FAMILIES INVOLVED, THIS IS NOT AN EASY TASK. THE FACT THAT SO MANY PEOPLE GIVE UP THEIR OWN TIME TO HELP THE CLUB RUN SMOOTHLY IS REMARKABLE.<\/strong>

THERE IS ALWAYS A NEED FOR MORE VOLUNTEERS AND WITHOUT THEM, CLUBS LIKE AFC STONEHAM WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT THEY DO FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.<\/strong>

HAVE THERE BEEN INSTANCES WHERE YOU'VE SEEN THE CLUB MAKE A GENUINE DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE'S LIFE?<\/h3>

\"With 1700 players and thousands of parents and families connected to the club, there are far too many to mention, which we are very proud of. We have to remember this is why we do what we do in grassroots community sport.

Whilst we have a structured player pathway for boys and girls, which leads many into professional football clubs academies, we also have a pathway for our many coaches which leads them into full time coaching roles in both various coaching companies and professional clubs. We would hope to have therefore had a very positive effect on this journey and made a genuine difference to these peoples lives.
