Morden Little League Football Annual Report for the year to 31August 2025
Constitution
Morden Little League is an unincorporated Association, is a Registered Charity (Number 803722) and its address is 8 Allgood Close Morden Surrey SM4 4PA
The Charity is administered by a Management Committee elected from the volunteer members of the organisation.
Aims and Objectives
Morden Little League (MLLF) once again met its primary objective of providing free organised football to boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 14 years. As in previous years the aim of mass participation rather than elitism and an emphasis on equalities and diversity were the guiding principles employed.
Issues and Achievements
The 2024/25 season has been another positive and progressive year for the League with continued focus on player development, retention, safeguarding, volunteer engagement, and operational improvement across the 15 pitches on a Saturday morning. This is the 2[nd] year of the senior MYL has continued to provide an important pathway for older players within Morden Little League family, bridging the transition between junior and senior football section while maintaining an inclusive and competitive environment. This has also included the old boys and girls above the age to 14 to referee and coach teams at King George when they are too old to play.
We have complied with FA and Little League requirements that now include the position of two League Welfare Officers male and female but looking to train more as the League grows with over 900 players now.
Fundraising has had to be stepped up to cover increased operation cost of the growing league with 950 players registered.
The management committee will be doing everything in its power to keep this free football going for young children as long as possible without endangering the leagues survival.
I would like to thank all those that donate their time to voluntary roles with Morden Little League, past and present, and to the boys and girls who make it all worthwhile.
Yours Faithfully David Bonner Treasurer Morden Little League
