“My Club, Our Community”

ABOUT US

North Surrey Mustangs Football Club was created in 2017. Based in the heart of Guildford, in North Surrey; our soccer club supports a community that prides in inclusion for all soccer participants. Our leadership team was driven by the need of providing quality soccer training to the children within our community, but most importantly, there was a drive to reduce barriers to participation; particularly financial barriers. Pre-conception of the club, our ‘now technical team’ oversaw soccer training in elementary schools at minimum fees; and at no cost for children from low-income families.

The positive and overwhelming response from the community led to a need for a soccer club, thus the start of North Surrey Mustangs Football Club. The organization has continued to be driven by the need to connect the community through this ‘beautiful game’. Understanding that we are in the heart of inner-city Surrey, the need to provide soccer coaching, while catering to under-privileged families remains the core of our mission. We [coaches, volunteers, and members at large] continue to be player-centred in our approach, while instilling a community-building vision in our service.
