About Us

Woolton Football Club is an FA Charter Standard Development Club based at Camp Hill in the Woolton area of South Liverpool. The club currently operates in excess of 40 teams from the age of 7 through to age 19 as well as having a veterans team. Most of the teams play in the Merseyside & Halewood Junior Football League but we are also represented in the South Liverpool, Belle Vale, West Derby and Halton Leagues.

Most of the teams operate weekly training sessions with the majority taking place on Saturday mornings. The club has an open door policy and welcomes anyone, within the age groups, to join the training sessions. Coaching also takes place on Saturdays for under 7's and the popularity of these sessions is leading to rapidly growing numbers in this section.

Anyone interested in participating at any age group or level should initially either visit Camp Hill on a Saturday morning or make contact by phone or email.

Plans for a girls team are underway and updates on the progress will be posted here.

The club has been involved in coaching in Liverpool primary schools and is developing a project to support football at Northway Primary School and bring it back into the mainstream of schools soccer. Further developments with other schools are at an advanced planning stage.

The club has for the last couple of years been formally associated with Woolton Veterans. This has allowed senior players to become involved in the junior structure and they have supported the formation of an under 18s team. This year for the first time the club will be running a youth team in an open age league.

History

We are unsure when teams began to play under the Woolton banner but about 10 years ago the club was operating from Woolton Youth club in Woolton village and was registered at the FA as Woolton Youth Centre FC. The teams were loosely affiliated and the business of the club was run by a management committee of all the managers. There was at that time no formal constitution. At the same time as the teams developed a drop in football session was taking place firstly adjacent to the youth club and then at Camp Hill on Woolton Road. This session led to a number of teams at various ages being formed and the club rose in size considerably.

In order to control the clubs rise in size it was decided that a formal organisation would be created and as a result a general meeting was called at which a committee was elected and a constitution created.

The club subsequently adopted codes of practice for players, coaches, parents and spectators and set about ensuring that all its managers and coaches became qualified to a minimum FA level one standard. This was a slow process given the number of teams but in 2005 the club was ready and following application to the FA was awarded FA Charter Standard development club status.
