Ottershaw FC is a small village club with big ambitions over the coming years. Set up in 2006 as a single youth team, the club saw a successful young side winning leagues and getting to cup finals, however in 2013, with many players off to University the club depleted for a few years. Back in 2016 with a fresh look the club has gone from strength to strength. The club has progressed through the Guildford and Woking Alliance league and in to the top part of the Surrey Intermediate league (Step 8 of the non-league pyramid), with aspirations to progress in to the Surrey Elite league and Combined Counties in years to come. The rapid rise since 2016 has come courtesy of a group of hard working volunteer committee members and coaching staff as well as a core group of players that continue to improve with the constant addition of new quality.
The 2020/21 season has seen the Otters push on again. A new development side playing in the Guildford & Woking Alliance Div 2 North, with an emphasis on promoting young local talent who can push on to perform at first team level. Also a brand new playing facility at Gordons School in Chobham. We have been lucky to secure their brand new sports complex with state of the art 4G pitch, fantastic changing facilities and even a cafe with a license which the spectators will love. As we grow as a club we would love to see some local faces support their local side, and we hope that with the brilliant new pitch it will encourage more and more spectators. Our ambitions do not stop at the adult game. Over the coming seasons, we aim to add some youth teams to our set up again focusing on local talent; and within 10 years have an almostfull youth set up that will be able to filter in to the adult team.
We hope to achieve this through our ethics of being well organised, professionally ran, and an overall enjoyable club to be part of, encouraging players to want to become an ‘Otter’.
We feel we need to become a greater part of the community and are trying to increase our links with the local area. We currently have sponsorship deals with local businesses such 3 Rooms Indian Restaurant, Ottershaw. The Cricketers Pub, Rowtown, Carlos Barbers, Fairmile cars LTD, as well as national companies Deliveroo, and Glassdoor UK. If you are interested in sponsoring Ottershaw FC then do not hesitate to contact us, there are numerous packages available. Hopefully, increasing numbers of the Ottershaw community become aware and take interest of the work going on at their local football club!
