Welcome to Polegate Grasshoppers FC – a community football club rooted in passion, teamwork, and development.

Founded with the aim of providing a fun, inclusive, and safe environment for children of all abilities to enjoy the beautiful game, we are proud to be one of the most recognisable grassroots clubs in the area.

Who We Are

Polegate Grasshoppers FC is run entirely by dedicated volunteers – from coaches and committee members to parents and supporters – all working together to give every child the opportunity to play, grow, and thrive through football. We offer football from ages 4 up to 18, with a growing number of boys’, girls’, and mixed teams representing the club each weekend.

Our ethos is simple:

  -  Football for all – regardless of background or ability

  -  Positive coaching that develops confidence as well as skill

  -  Community spirit that brings people together on and off the pitch

What We Stand For

We believe football should be about more than just results. At Polegate Grasshoppers, we teach respect, discipline, teamwork and resilience – qualities that serve our players both on the pitch and in life.

We follow FA Respect guidelines and strive to create a supportive environment where children can enjoy themselves, feel valued, and build friendships that last.
