The Under 12's team will be managed by one our most successful managers, Stuart Hands. They were League Champions last season at 7-a-side and for this year move up to 9-a-side football. This will be played on a junior sized pitch with 21x7 goals.
As 2007-2008 Under 10 League Champions, and last season's Under 11 League Champions, the team are looking forward to the start of the season.

NEW CAR BOOSTER SEAT REGULATIONS
As of 18th September 2006 new legislation was introduced regarding the use of booster seats in cars. Any child under 12 and under 4 foot 5 inches must use a booster seat while travelling in a car. This may well have an adverse effect on parents taking a number of children to matches or training. As a Club, we are advising parents and guardians to make themselves aware of the regulations as Kettering Town Ladies and Girls Football Club cannot be held responsible for fines received following a breach of the new regulations.
Would moving kids' football to a summer game help improve the development of young footballers?
Yes - better pitches mean a better chance to develop technique/skills
No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
