Welcome to Whittington Football
Club – one of only
250 F.A. Community Clubs in the UK.
Whittington is a friendly village between Lichfield and Tamworth,
and is home to one of the largest amateur football clubs
in Staffordshire.
Whittington F.C. has been providing
football coaching and matches to local youngsters for over
15 years and holds the F.A. “Charter Standard” which is the Football
Association’s official seal of approval for amateur
clubs. This means our players can enjoy training and matches
in a well run and safe environment and under the supervision
of F.A. qualified coaches at all age groups. We have our
own Code of Conduct and our volunteers are police (CRB) checked
and trained in Emergency First Aid and Child Protection.
We are also an approved F.A. “Development Club”,
which recognises our work with mixed ability groups and our
focus on player participation, personal skills, fitness and
team building as opposed to just “winning at all costs”.
In 2004 we were voted the F.A.’s top Club in Staffordshire
for our development work.
The Club currently runs 17 teams for
boys and girls from Under 8 to Under 15, and a Ladies team.
In addition we organise a Soccer Centre for 5-11 year olds
on Saturday mornings run by former West Bromwich Albion player
Paul Agnew, as well as various after-schools coaching schemes.
We also enjoy links with West Bromwich Albion Academy and other
professional clubs for those players with exceptional talent.
