The Len Forge Centre

Welcome to The Len Forge Centre, the home of Football Development in Southend-on-Sea. Our centre offers top-notch facilities for football development, including our FA approved 3G pitch, grass pitches, and function room with a bar. We are a registered charity (Charity Number: 286873) and aim to promote and improve football in the local area.

Our pride and joy is our state-of-the-art, FA approved 3G pitch. This pitch can cater to 11-a-side, 9-a-side, 7-a-side, and 6-a-side games, providing a high-quality playing surface that simulates real grass. With excellent drainage, this pitch is playable in all weather conditions, allowing uninterrupted football sessions. We also have well-kept grass pitches available for use.

At The Len Forge Centre, we welcome dogs on-site, as long as they are kept on a lead at all times. This allows football enthusiasts to bring their furry friends and enjoy the game together.

Apart from providing outstanding football facilities, we also have a dedicated Football Development Officer who is constantly working to enhance football in Southend-on-Sea. Whether you have questions about tournaments, charity matches, children's football opportunities, football birthday parties, or general football information, our development officer is here to assist you. Simply fill out the form on our website, and they will be in contact with you shortly.

In addition to our regular fixtures, we host weekend games for both Saturdays and Sundays. The Len Forge Centre is a vibrant hub of football activity, bringing together players and teams from the local community. Join us for thrilling matches and showcase your skills on our top-quality pitches.

If you're looking for a competitive league to join, we have a Monday Night League available. Gather your team and compete in a well-organised league where you can showcase your football prowess. Simply fill out the form on our website with your team details, and we will get you registered.
