Woolston Rovers History and Day to Day Running (05/01/07)
Woolston Rovers Football Club
The Past
Woolston Rovers Football Club was established in October 1999 as a result of the increasing demand for junior football opportunities in the Padgate and Woolston areas.
The club is based at Bennett Recreation Ground together with several other sport and recreation clubs. There are excellent facilities including space for several pitches, new changing rooms and showers and ample parking spaces. These facilities were kindly made available to the club by the local parish council.
The Present
Woolston Rovers Football Club currently provides training opportunities for approximately one hundred and seventy children between the ages of five and twelve. Several teams have been entered into the Warrington Junior Solvay-Interox League at age groups from under 7 to under 14’s.
Woolston Rovers Football Club is a non-profit making organisation. All fees and subscriptions are ploughed back into the club for the benefit of the children.
All coaches have recently successfully completed the F.A. Junior Team Manager Award. The coaches do not receive financial remuneration. One of these coaches has attained his first for sport level two certificate.
The Future
Woolston Rovers Football Club will continue to grow as the demand dictates. The intention is that successive age groups will be entered into the respective leagues as part of a rolling programme.
And so …….. Welcome to Woolston Rovers Football Club.
