A funny, feel-good song celebrating the wonderful chaos of Saturday morning junior football!

🎵 About the Song

Saturday morning. Football boots on. Shirts pulled over heads, muddy knees, orange slices on the sideline, and parents shouting encouragement from the touchline. It’s time for the Saturday Morning Eleven!

In towns and suburbs across Australia, Britain, Europe and many other parts of the world, Saturday mornings have long been a special time for under-12s to get together and play football — or soccer, as it’s known in some countries.

For these young players, it’s about much more than winning. It’s about friendship, exercise, teamwork, learning new skills, enjoying the fresh air and, above all, having fun.

But when eleven young footballers take to the pitch, almost anything can happen!

Meet the nervous goalkeeper, the striker who practises his celebration before scoring, the defender who stops for a sandwich, the winger distracted by a passing bee, and the young hopeful who kicks the ball somewhere nobody expected!

Meanwhile, the coach is trying to organise the team, the parents are offering advice from the sidelines, and someone is already asking when half-time oranges will arrive.

Welcome to the wonderfully unpredictable world of the Saturday Morning Eleven!

With a catchy chorus, playful football chants and a collection of amusing characters, Ian Brook brings this familiar childhood ritual to life in a cheerful song for the whole family.

Because sometimes the best memories aren't made by scoring the winning goal. They're made by laughing with your mates, getting grass stains on your shorts, and coming home tired, happy and ready to do it all again next Saturday.

Saturday morning, football fever! Eleven little legends, having a ball!

And remember — we're friends first, footballers after all!

⚽ A Celebration of Grassroots Sport

This song celebrates the spirit of junior football and community sport around the world. It recognises the parents who give up their Saturday mornings, the volunteer coaches who patiently teach the game, and the children who discover the joy of playing together.

Whether you call it football or soccer, the magic is the same.

Run, laugh, learn, play — and enjoy every minute!
