Ramsbury Football Club, founded
in 1887, is a thriving sporting facility available to the residents
of Ramsbury and surrounding local villages in the Kennet valley.
The clubs success is a result of voluntary commitment by committee
members and parents to support this vital part of village life,
as well as developing local junior football.
Currently there are nearly 200 members of the club, encompassing
girls, boys and seniors. The club provides coaching for all ages
from under 4’s through to under 13’s and seniors. We
are the only club in Wiltshire starting at this age. Excluding
the under 6 and below, all teams play competitively in the North
Wiltshire District Youth and Minor League, with the seniors playing
in the Swindon & District league. Much more information is
available on the Ramsbury
FC website.

We have 20 qualified coaches
(including one FA “Certificate” coach), and 2 child
welfare officers.
Each age group trains every Saturday morning during the football
season, with matches played typically on Sunday. Additionally,
over the early summer, Ramsbury teams take part in sixes tournaments
played in Hungerford, Marlborough, Wootton Bassett & Highworth.
Ramsbury Football Club aims to provide quality training and playing
facilities to all club members regardless of ability and gender
and to improve both team and individual skills on and off the field
of play.
We are delighted that Ramsbury FC was in 2007 awarded FA Charter
Standard.
The FA Charter Standard Programme provides recognition that clubs
are well run and sustainable, with child protection and safety
paramount. It also recognises a club's commitment to coaching,
player and coach development, and the raising of standards of behaviour
in the game - all of which are big priorities for us as a club
and The FA.
At a local level, our great facilities allow Ramsbury to welcome
and encourage all boys and girls no matter what their ability and
with careful and appropriate coaching methods to ensure that everyone
has the chance to play, with sportsmanship and participation being
the driving goals.
However we have no intention of resting on our laurels and have
further plans to improve and enhance our clubhouse. |
