About the Colts

Since its formation in 1974, Hove Park Colts has grown to be one of the biggest youth football clubs in Brighton & Hove. Now, with 29 teams affiliated to Sussex County FA, we have 370 players signed at our thriving community club – and nearly half (45%) are girls.

Colts teams range from Under 7 to Under 18, and play in the three biggest local grassroots leagues: Sussex Sunday Youth Football League, Mid Sussex Youth Football League and Sussex County Womens & Girls Football League.

In 2025, Hove Park Colts achieved two star FA Accreditation, with a full female pathway and at least one fully-qualified coach in every team. Fewer than 10% of clubs in Sussex hold this status. We’re proud of our players and volunteers and wish them all luck for the season ahead!
