Welcome to the website of Frinton & Walton Youth Football Club.

We were founded in 1978.  All work undertaken by the managers and officials of this club is on a voluntary basis. They do however recognise their responsibilities in the roles they have undertaken. Their prime objectives are to make football enjoyable for the children whilst encouraging their football development. The safety of our members is paramount at all times.

Our Life President is Mr Bob Mills. Bob retired from refereeing local football in 2006 after 36 years service. He had refereed all standards of local football, and is therefore widely known and respected throughout the local football community. Bob considers that he got most enjoyment from the officiating at youth matches. We consider it an honour to have Bob as our Life President.

All of our squads have FA Club Coach Level 1 qualified coaches. We are therefore able to offer all our players a standard of coaching that meets the FA's guidelines.

We are also fortunate to have as our Life Vice President Russell Bettany. Russell is another long standing member of the Club having been with us since 1994. He is qualified to FA Club Coach Level 2 and coaches with the Ipswich Town academy. This obviously benefits the Club as Russell runs specialist coaching sessions with all of our age groups.

We are also forging links with local schools to promote the Club in our local community. We believe children should be given the opportunity to coach as well as play football, and it is through these links that we are seeking to provide coaching experience for youths.

Our FA qualified Child Welfare Officer (CWO) liaises with the FA's CRB unit to have criminal records bureau checking of all club officials and managers.

We have teams competing in all age groups of the Colchester and District Youth Football League from under 9's up to under 16's. We look to form an under 8's section each year as a feeder for our under 9's for the following season.

We encourage the involvement of girls in youth football, although the rules only permit mixed squads up to and including the under 11's age group.  We do have mixed squads in these age groups. We are also investigating running an under 12's girls section, with a view to forming a side. Please contact us should you be interested in running or participating in that.

We are also working toward FA Charter Standard. The scheme is a core component of the FA Football Development programme and recognises clubs that are well run, measuring them on a number of criteria, both on and off the field.

Now that you have a flavour for our club please take a look around our website, and thank you for visiting.
