Welcome to the new season 2017/18
Cholsey Bluebirds FC
celebrated its GOLDEN JUBILEE last year, having been founded back in 1967, when the emphasis was on being a friendly, safe, supportive and family orientated club. These aims have continued to the present day. Everyone associated with us (the managers, players, parents and supporters) strongly believe that having fun is by far the most important part of playing the game of football, especially for the younger age groups, who are key to the continued future success and well-being of the Club. Yes, it is a competitive sport, but winning should never override the values of good sportsmanship, honesty and respect for all - officials, parents, spectators and players. Equally important is giving every child the opportunity to improve his/her individual skills as well as to steadily develop a sense and understanding of being part of a "team", which in turn requires taking responsibility and making a commitment as a squad player. |
We are extremely proud of our traditions and not only the fact that a significant number of our present day officers and managers have been with the Club for many years, but that they were themselves Bluebirds' players in their youth - this speaks volumes for the continuity and commitment of everyone associated with our Club.
We have teams playing in all age groups from our Rising Stars (under 6) up to Under 15s except for U8s. Sadly, we do not have any Girls' Teams either at present but it's great to see a number of girls attending the Rising Stars training sessions last year. Under FA Rules, teams can be mixed up to the age of 14.
UPDATE: We DO now have a GIRLS' TEAM - see OUR TEAMS Pages. All our managers are experienced - CRB checked and have or are in the process of gaining their FA Level 1 Coaching Certificate, with some training for their Level 2 Certificate. If you have a child who is interested in playing or you would like more information, please contact the relevant manager of his or her age group. Just go to the Contacts : Managers and Our Teams pages on the left menu bar.
