ABOUT THE CLUB
 

The Club was founded in 1970 as a works football team for employees of the Steins Brickwork based in the village. When the works closed down the football team was continued by a number of the original members of the Club as an amateur team in the Stirling & District league set up.
The ground was gifted to the Club in the late 1980s and is held on the basis that the facility will always be used for community recreational purposes.
In 1999 the Club established its first youth teams with a group of 10 and 11 year olds created out of the summer soccer school run by the Club.
We now compete at under 10s, 11s, 16s, 17s, 19s and 21s in addition to the adult amateur team which is still in existence after almost 40 years.
We embarked on the Quality Mark accreditation scheme around 2006 acknowledging that this process would potentially set us apart from other Clubs.
The Standard Award was achieved in 2007 and we progressed to Development Level by March 2009.
The Amateur team plays in the Central Scottish Amateur Football League and the youth teams in various regional leagues from Cumbernauld & District to West Lothian, Forth Valley and West of Scotland.

The Club is administered and run by a central committee of volunteers and coaches made up from representation by all participating teams.
Playing members will be in the region of 120 with 20 qualified coaches and a further 20 volunteers involved on average at any one time.
Currently the Club only has boys teams and male adult participation.
We have youth coaches for all teams at minimum SFA Level 3 qualification and also have a coach who holds the Children�s Level 4 certification.

The ethos of the Club is to provide participation and enjoyment in suitable sporting facilities for the benefit of the local community.

Charitable status is held from HMRC on the basis that the Club adopted a constitution that is open to all to participate irrespective of any factors and involvement is encouraged at all levels of ability.

The Club is fortunate enough to have its own grass pitch, training area, changing accommodation and meeting room in Allandale. We also have additional facilities through Falkirk Council at Herbertshire Parks in Denny and also the community atsro turf at Denny High School.

At present the Club has a complete pathway for males from under 16 through to adult football.
A partnership with Falkirk In The Community has been completed with an official launch immanent that establishes the full player pathway from under 6 boys through to adult and under 13 girls through to adult. This organisation as a whole will have a membership of over 500 participants including a coach/volunteer structure of almost 100.

 
Would moving kids' football to a summer game help improve the development of young footballers?
Yes - better pitches mean a better chance to develop technique/skills
No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
