History - Bessacarr Football Club - Bessacarr Football Club - Bessacarr Football Club

Bessacarr Football Club was formed in 1981 by Brian Ward and Tony Roberts supporting their sons playing for Willow Junior School. The team of eleven year olds started playing friendlies, before entering the U12s Sunday League as Bessacarr Juniors FC.

We know of at least two players who have gone on to play Professional football, these are Greg Young & Christian Lee.

The club runs teams in all age groups. The U7s to U10s play small-sided football where the emphasis is on enjoyment and development of skills and ability. No points are awarded in the Doncaster Free Press Doncaster & District Junior Sunday mini-league and therefore no league tables exist.

The U11s to U18s all play 11-a-side football, with the U14s currently running two teams. For the older players, we encourage them to take part in coaching and refereeing and give them the opportunity to attend training courses. This has led to some of the U18s squad becoming involved in coaching with our younger age groups.

The club makes sure that all coaches are fully qualified to a minimum of "level one" standard. As a club we take child protection very seriously and all our coaches, managers and officials are police checked.
