Where are matches held? 

We have two home pitches at SMCC. See our location page for details. Where we have more than two home matches on the same day or pitches are in use for training (which is most of the time), we rent other local pitches - e.g. Mayow Park, South Norwood Lake; and Peckham Rye Park. Away matches are generally in southern London and typically take anywhere between 5-45 minutes driving time to get to or from. 

I don't drive. Can anyone give us a lift to away matches?

If you don't have a car, don't worry. Other parents are always happy to give lifts and it just makes the journey to and from the game more fun for both parents and players. Just post a message in your squad's Whatsapp group, giving your address. It is extremely rare that anyone struggles to get to a match.
