Our Story
Established in 1979, Stoke Lane AFC is proud to provide football coaching and competitive opportunities for players of all ages across South Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas.
At Stoke Lane, we welcome anyone with a passion for the beautiful game. Our pathway of teams caters for boys and girls from under‑5s right through to senior men’s and women’s squads.
Our club’s longevity in the community comes from our strong family‑focused ethos, both on and off the pitch. We thrive thanks to the support and encouragement of friends, families, and volunteers, all working together to keep the needs and enjoyment of every player at the heart of what we do.
We strive to create an inclusive environment where every individual can experience the many benefits football brings — improving mental, physical, and social well‑being while having fun and building lasting connections.

Our Commitment to Quality Coaching
At Stoke Lane AFC, we are committed to providing the highest standard of football coaching for every player. Our dedicated team of FA‑qualified volunteer coaches work tirelessly to develop each individual’s skills and confidence, nurturing their growth both on and off the pitch. Above all, we aim to inspire a lifelong love of the game in everyone who plays for our club.
Accommodating Local Demand for Football
At Stoke Lane AFC, we recognise how important it is to make football accessible to as many young players in our community as possible. To meet this demand, we offer a wide range of age groups and teams, ensuring every child has the chance to take part, develop their skills, and experience the joy of the game. Our clear player pathway allows them to progress through the ranks and, for those who wish, continue their football journey into our senior teams.
Working with Parents to Build Our Football Community
At Stoke Lane AFC, we believe that the involvement of parents and carers is vital to the success and growth of our club. We actively encourage families to volunteer and contribute in whatever way they can, whether it’s assisting with coaching, helping to organise events, or supporting our day‑to‑day administration. By working together, we build a strong, supportive, and inclusive community around our players. This partnership among coaches, parents, and volunteers enables us to create a positive and nurturing environment where every footballer can develop, enjoy the game, and truly thrive.
