About Pace FC

“Our vision is to create a safe environment for children to enjoy football within our local community. Developing players technical ability, social skills & performance levels. We aim to introduce people to football regardless of age, ability, sex, religion or ethnic background."
Let's make grassroots football great!

The club has continued to grow from strength to strength since it was founded in 2000 and now has 39 teams across all leagues!

Since 2006 we have developed a partnership with Testwood School which is now our base for training and league matches. This allows us to offer some of the most advanced facilities for youth football in the area, boasting an all weather flood lit 3G artificial grass surface, storage facilities for equipment and goals and more recently a refreshments hut.

Over the years Pace Youth FC have become known to many professional clubs in the surrounding area and as a direct result teams have been invited to play friendlies at their training facilities giving the players a unique opportunity to experience the likes of Bournemouth, Chelsea, Reading & Southampton’s Youth Academy enabling us to visit to their training ground, with some players even being offered contracts at various pro clubs.

Pace Youth have also been leaders in growing girls football, building 7 teams inside of 4 seasons. Girls within the club have more opportunities to play football at the level that suits them.
