Introducing Horsmonden and Marden United

Introducing Horsmonden and Marden United

Mini Stars, formerly known as Mini Stones/Pebbles, is excited to announce an exciting new chapter. Following our move and rebrand, we are proud to be working in partnership with Horsmonden and Marden United to establish our very own football club.

For the past 10 years, we have prided ourselves on providing young players with the best possible training experience, helping them develop their football skills, confidence and love for the game, with many progressing on their football journey with Maidstone United Football Club.

We are now delighted to take the next step and launch Horsmonden and Marden United, giving local young players the opportunity to represent their community and play competitive football on a weekly basis.

For the 2026–2027 season, we will initially be entering Under 7 and Under 8 teams into the Maidstone Invicta and Primary Leagues, with fixtures taking place on Saturdays, with a 10:30am kick-off.

Our vision is simple: to give every player the opportunity to play, develop and enjoy football in a positive and supportive environment.

We will be entering two teams, with players streamed on an ability basis. This will allow each player to play in a setting that is best suited to their current level, helping them build confidence, develop their abilities and enjoy the experience of competitive football.

We are incredibly excited about this next chapter and the opportunities it will create for local players. We look forward to welcoming families to the Horsmonden and Marden United family and watching our young players grow both on and off the pitch.

The journey starts here. ⭐⚽
