JOIN

We’re a friendly, welcoming bunch so do come along and try us out.

You can attend two training sessions for free before you decide to join the club for the first time. Get in touch with kmsecretary@outlook.com to check if there is space or a waiting list. Please state the DoB and School Year of the interested child so we can route you to the correct team or waiting list.

If you decide to join, you can choose to come to training only or to also play in matches.

All our teams are in the Pioneer Youth League with teams from around South Devon. Matches are on Sunday mornings with some gaps/weeks off. Please be aware that your child may not play every minute or every match - some of our larger squads substitute children throughout the games to ensure everyone has the chance to play and develop at a pace appropriate to their level. We usually play each team twice – home and away. The furthest distance to travel is about an hour to teams in say Torquay, Kingsteinton etc. Many parents organise car-share or a lift rota so parents don’t have to go to every away match, although it’s great to support your kids and share the highs and lows! Coaches do not arrange lifts or take players other than their own children. Details of fixtures are provided to parents by the coaches.

Code of Conduct & KM United Club Policies

We pride ourselves on the respectful, sporting behaviour of our coaches, players and parents/supporters. When you join, both children and parents are acknowledging they have read and will abide by the KM United Code of Conduct Policies.

Any fines or charge notices received from the League or FA as a result of player or parent misconduct must be paid by the parent themselves. This includes all fines related to misconduct, yellow or red cards and non adherence to the club or FA Codes of Conduct.

Fees

Click here to see our fees for the 2022/23 season. If you are joining after the start of the season then check which fees apply.

Fees cover training sessions, matches, match kit (on long term loan to be handed back when you leave or outgrow it), KM United club membership and registration with the Pioneer Youth League and the Devon FA. Fees also contribute to the running costs of the club and player injury insurance. Your team coach gives their time to the team voluntarily/unpaid along with committee members.
