Women’s Senior Team

Aldershot Town Football Club Women’s Senior Team is entering its inaugural season for the 2025/2026 season.

Led by First Team Manager, Aym’e Melham, our aim is to offer players within our current under 18s pathway the opportunity to progress and play senior football with the club, as well as to recruit the best possible talent available to us in the local area to represent the Shots and play under the iconic Phoenix badge.

We aspire to provide those playing in our First Team with an environment that pushes them to improve and expects only the very highest standards at all time. We will seek to provide tools to achieve this, and in return we seek players who are hungry to compete and ready to work hard.

This season, we begin our journey in the Hampshire County Women’s Football League, Division 3.

If you are interested in playing for the Shots Women’s First Team, or wish to support the team via sponsorship. please contact Aym’e Melham now ayme.melham@theshots.co.uk
