SEFA recognise the importance of providing talented players of all age groups with the platform to perform. Fulfilling fixtures against selected opposition throughout the season offers an ideal platform for players to demonstrate their capability & benchmark their level of progress during a game situation. All fixtures are eagerly anticipated by players within the academy & the opportunity to represent SEFA is accessible to everyone within it.
Over the last few years SEFA have nurtured relationships with a whole host of professional academies, semi-professional set-ups, representative sides at County & District levels as well as competitive sides from local leagues & schools. The purpose of developing such a broad set of relationships is to enable differing categories of fixtures to be established, thereby ensuring that all of the fixtures are suitably aligned to the various performance tiers across the academy.
Our aim is to have a pre-determined number of fixtures throughout a term for each performance tier, offering variety & mix of opposition at the appropriate level. This will provide a greater number of games for all our players & by providing the appropriate level of opposition, it will ensure that players have the confidence & belief necessary to be able to demonstrate their skills.
The fixture list will be established at the beginning of each term & will be sign-posted through the website. Individual players may represent SEFA at their own age group & performance tier or where the level of capability shown supports it, they may play up a performance tier or indeed an age group. These decisions will be taken by the SEFA coaches based upon performance during training sessions together with attitude & behaviours demonstrated throughout the term.
SEFA remain committed enabling players to transition technical skills acquired through drills & exercises into ‘real-life’ game situations as it forms a key part of the SEFA development philosophy.

View Match ReportThis was a great team performance and a fair result also, with the boys playing a 4-5-1 system, I encourage them to play football at all times and they did just that, we tried to play out from the back on every occasion and did this with organisation and confidence. In this system I asked the two wide players Matt Bennett and Liam Matthews and later on Scott Embery to join in with the striker Ross Lennox who's work rate on the day was fantastic, from this Matt got the goal from a central area and was in a perfect position. Individually all players performed to a high standard and it was a pleasure managing them. Each player showed a great work ethic and a good understanding of what was required. The Colchester United U15 Coach praised the fact that we played good football and was brave to keep playing out from the back, even when 1-0 up with two minutes to go, its always nice to get good feed back from other coaches. WELL DONE LADS. Scott Lindsey.

View Match ReportA game I really enjoyed, as we wanted to play out from the back as much as we could and build play up through the pitch with good possession, and we did with all players looking comfortable with the ball, in the final quarter Mark Orpin who was my assistant for the day counted how many pass completions the team made. We reached 73 within 20 minutes, this was a good achievement and a good target to try and reach next time. I was also pleased with how hard we worked off the ball, we worked on pressing the ball high up the pitch, which we got a lot of joy from on the day, we did this by stepping off them and inviting them to play from the back and as soon as they did we then pressed. Well done to the goal scorers with Jordan getting two and Darren Cooper, Lewis Absolon and Tommy Chapman all scoring one each. Great all round performance well done lads, Scott Lindsey.

View Match ReportSEFA would like to thank Sevenoaks Town FC for bringing a great team down to Maplesden for a friendly round robin games night. SEFA fielded 4 teams which saw a great night of football for the under 10's. The boys really turned it on and displayed what they had been learning throughout the term into the game. The boys support play off the ball was fantastic, giving the player in posession multiple options. This ultimately helped all the players with their decision making, leading to some really fluent entertaining football.
