Warsash is a village in southern Hampshire, situated at the mouth of the River Hamble, between Southampton and Portsmouth. Warsash has a strong sporting tradition, and of football in particular.
Warsash Wasps Sports and Football was formed in 1977 to provide local children with a football team that would help them develop their football ability fully. Today, that small club has grown into one of the largest of its type in Hampshire. Warsash Wasps SFC now has upwards of 350 players from age 5 to U18, fielding 17 Mini Soccer teams, and 10 11-a-side teams, including a growing number of successful girls teams.
The Club competes in five different Leagues: Mid-Solent FL and Hampshire Girls FL on Saturdays, and Eastleigh & District Mini Soccer League, City of Southampton Youth FL and Southampton Tyro League on Sundays.
In addition, Warsash Wasps has developed its own ground at New Road in Warsash. The New Road complex now comprises a large floodlit all-weather 3G pitch, an 11-a-side grass pitch, an indoor sports hall with changing rooms, refreshments shop, and committee room, together with an additional, separate changing facility. Pitches are marked out for all small-size pitches, to suit todays football development ethos. Satellite pitches are also used by the club at Osborne Road, Titchfield Recreation Ground and Hook with Warsash School, a few hundred metres from New Road.
The club now has a large number of highly qualified coaches, many of whom who played for the club as young people, something the club is keen to continue. The club has worked very hard to become an F.A. Accredited Level 2 club.
Warsash Wasps SFC has a strong community presence, participating in local events, and organising charity fund-raising events.
Warsash Wasps SFC aim to provide the opportunity to all, of playing football in a well organised, safe and competitive framework. For the last 45+ years, many have benefited, not just in football ability, but also social and competitive life skills.
