About HD Allstars
HD Allstars is an FA Charter Standard football club based in Hackney Downs, proudly serving the Clapton and Stoke Newington community since 2012.
We currently run grassroots teams from ages 6 and upwards, a HD Allstars little kickers programme for children aged 3 – 5 years old and a community sessions for boys and girls aged 6 – 13.
We’re proud to create an environment where every child can enjoy football, grow in confidence, and reach their full potential both on and off the pitch. We help every player become the best they can be not just as a footballer, but as a young person.

Our Aims
HD Allstars FC yearn to keep supporting skills development in every child’s life under our scheme of training and development team.
- Support skills development in every child’s life through our structured training and development programme.
- Encourage teamwork and character-building to boost self-esteem and help children feel confident taking part in football and other team sports.
- Develop each player across the FA’s Four Corners model (technical, physical, psychological, and social), and never give up on any child who wants to play.
- Provide opportunities for competitive football so children experience pride, accomplishment and achievement.
- Give back to the community by engaging with young people, listening to their needs, and creating real entry routes into professional football opportunities that many are currently denied.
- Promote football participation by expanding our membership, creating new age-group teams (including Under-7s and Under-16s), and supporting long-term engagement so players can continue into adulthood.
