2006-7 Season: Formation and first matches
The first Nottingham Ball Bois session was held on May 14, 2006, a kick-about attended by ten players at Gresham Playing Fields in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire. Interest in the club grew rapidly, with the team's first friendly match played on July 23 2006 at home, on Gresham Playing Fields, a 3-0 defeat against Birmingham Blaze FC. The next friendly, on August 23 2006, gave Nottingham Ball Bois their first victory, a 6-5 home win against Leicester Wildecats FC. During the inaugural season, further friendly games were played, and Nottingham Ball Bois entered small-sided tournaments in Leicester, Yorkshire and Dublin.
At the end of the season, the club hosted the Ballbois First Anniversary Tournament, a shortened 11-a-side invitational tournament with Leicester Wildecats FC, Birmingham Blaze FC and London Leftfooters FC. Nottingham were defeated in the final by Birmingham Blaze following a penalty shoot-out. At the end of the 2006-7 season, Nottingham Ball Bois learned that their application to enter the GFSN Gay National League had been successful.
