Mini Monarchs takes place every Sunday morning, rain or shine. All sessions are aimed to be fun, as for the majority of players this is their first experience of football. We aim for every player to get as many touches of the ball as possible, and players are grouped based on their age, experience and confidence to maximise development.

We also arrange frequent fixtures to support the players in the transition to playing for the Staplehurst Monarchs Under 8s.
