Everything you need to know before getting started
Looking for the right football club for your child?
Blackheath Rhinos offers inclusive coaching, a welcoming environment and football opportunities for children of all abilities. Whether your child is new to football, looking for extra training, ready for a team, or simply needs a positive place to play, this page explains how Rhinos works and what to do next.
More Than Just a Football Club
We started Rhinos to create the kind of football environment children deserve, positive, inclusive, ambitious and enjoyable environment. For us, it is not just about results. It is about helping young players build confidence, improve their football and feel part of a real community. That is what being a Rhino is all about.
Inclusive for
all abilities
Every child is welcome, supported and encouraged.
Development
over pressure
We focus on confidence, learning and long-term progress.
A real
community club
Families become part of something bigger than just weekly sessions.
A pathway
for every child
From first football experiences to team training and matchdays.
WHAT RHINOS STANDS FOR
Part of the team
When your child joins Rhinos, they are genuinely part of the team.
Equal playing time
Every player gets equal opportunity. That is a core part of who we are.
No A and B teams
We do not split children into hierarchy-based teams.
Development before results
We care more about confidence, enjoyment and progress than chasing wins.
Coach cover when needed
If a coach is unavailable, suitable replacement cover is arranged so sessions can continue smoothly.
At Rhinos, we want children to feel valued, families to feel welcome and football to stay enjoyable.
