taught values
We are often told that Friday Night 5s in Barnes is a very different to the feeling of a weekend junior league. We think that’s because of the values that are so important to those who take part in the leagues: Friendship, Fair Play and Fun.
The five-a-side format, based around Friendship of those of a similar age, helps create this atmosphere. Friends come together to design, manage and play in a team that is truly theirs: choosing their own team name, designing their team badge and, if they wish, having their own team strip too.
Our Match Rules and Code of Conduct for Players, Parents and Coaches are there to champion Fair Play in the spirit of the game and ensure Fun for all – win, lose or draw. Referees assess all matches for Fair Play and a Fair Play Award is given at the end of every week.
Junior 5-a-side in Barnes
Barnes is the original home of Rocks Lane – the company behind Friday Night Fives. Rocks Lane came to Barnes in 1992 and set up Friday Night Fives in 1995 with 4 teams. Today we regularly attract 1000+ junior footballers every Friday evening, playing on our pitches.
The whistle blows for our younger age group Friday Night 5s matches at Barnes from 4pm. Matches last roughly 40 minutes each. Our experienced team of referees and coaches ensure everything runs smoothly, rain or shine!
We hold our 5s Netball League at the same time.
Football Coaching at Barnes
Friday Night 5s teams of all ages that are keen to bond and play and progress as a team can train with a Rocks Lane FA qualified coach at Rocks Lane Barnes.
Private and open football coaching sessions throughout the week for nursery aged children upwards. A team looking to improve their skills and tactics can have a private coaching session during the week and put the new skills they have learnt into action during their Friday Night 5s match, with the same coach providing match guidance and advice from the side of the pitch, as part of Friday Night 5s Match Day Manager service. It’s a fantastic way to learn and try out new skills! To find out more about coaching please email barnes@rockslane.co.uk
