Football is the main school sport played in the Lent Term, with over 250 boys enjoying the experience.

The boys get four hours of coaching each week and play matches every Saturday afternoon and occasionally during the week. M.S.A.F.C. runs ten teams, which play 12 fixtures in the term. Coaching is of the highest standard and the school employs two U.E.F.A.-qualified coaches as well as an ex-international footballer.

M.S.A.F.C. takes part in the Mercian League, a league of 16 independent schools. The school has been very successful in this competition and has won titles at 1^st, 2^nd and U15 age groups.

The Football Club regularly runs trips abroad and has previously sampled the delights of Spanish, Dutch, Greek and French football.
