Fair play
We play to win the right way. Players learn to respect the rules, the referee and the opposition every week.
Shaping young footballers with care
ShapeUp FC is a community football club for boys and girls in Dagenham, training at Valence Park and Dagenham Park Church of England School and welcoming families from Dagenham and Romford.
Our mission
To build confident, disciplined players who value teamwork and fair play.
ShapeUp FC was founded as a community football club. We nurture young players with a focus on enjoyment, skill development and respect for the game, guided by UEFA and FA coaching standards.
Football at ShapeUp is about more than winning. It's about children feeling welcome from their first session, making friends, growing in confidence and becoming better players week by week.
What we stand for
Respect
For teammates, coaches, parents and opponents. How you treat people matters as much as how you play.
Passion for the game
We want children to love football — and keep loving it. Sessions are energetic, varied and fun.
Our coaches and volunteers
Our coaching staff are UEFA-licensed and FA-accredited, and DBS-checked. Together with our volunteers, they share a commitment to youth development and to creating a supportive place to play.
By bringing players and families together, we foster lifelong friendships and a love for football.
