Football
The number of teams for this season is still47, split between 38 boy’s teams and 7 Girls team. The boy’s teams play in two separate Leagues, they are the Manchester Youth Super League and the East Manchester Junior Football League. Our Girls teams play in the North Manchester Girl’s Football League and South Manchester Girl’s Football League. In addition to these we have our Walking Football team for the older generation. The Club is affiliated to Manchester Football Association under Droylsden Youth Centre FC which is the umbrella organisation covering the activities of the all sections of our football teams. The Soccer School is progressing well, this forms the teams of the future under the guidance of John Kenny our Head Coach. This season we have formed four teams to go into Leagues, The Soccer School play every Saturday morning from 10-15am to 11-15am and the Girls known as the Wildcats play on Sunday mornings, 10-00am to 11-00pm under the Guidance of John Kenny and Stuart Buckley.
Walking Football
Droylsden Walking football is getting bigger and better with many new members attending Tuesday and Thursdays, the Droylsden walking football session are all about men over the age of 60+ having fun, a game of football and a drink and a chat afterwards, many of the men have various problems which the football really helps. Player’s ages range from 60 to 80 years this past year has been a hard year for some
of our players with various injuries and illnesses but there are always people there to give help and support within our walking football team.
Our main aim is socialising and player’s wellbeing also being a part of Droylsden Juniors Football Club
Friday 25th June we had a presentation evening in the community room at our club for the walking football members which went brilliantly with everyone receiving an trophy donated by the club, the trophies were a token trophy reward for the player’s dedication and commitment towards attending the walking football regularly over the year.
England Football Accredited Club***
This is the highest award for junior amateur football clubs given by the Football Association. We have once again been awarded *** Accreditation.
Phase 2 Development Update
The Synthetic grass pitch is fully booked up, but with forty-seven teams needing a training evening we are hiring pitches at Wright Robinson
College, Sporting Edge and Droylsden Academy.
Things are progressing well with the Football Foundation and Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council to convert our training pitch into a full-size synthetic football pitch by extending into the adjacent park. This scheme is fully supported by Manchester FA. Regular meetings have taken place and we are moving closer towards finalising the development.
Club Café (Four-Four-Brew)
The café is going from strength to strength under the management of Shirley Atherton. Due to requests from members, we are
opening on Saturdays and Sundays every week offering hot food,
crisps, chocolate bars, hot and cold drinks delivered in our community room.
We can also show the activities on the pitch on the big screen. In the
Community Room on wet days so the parents are not outside in the bad weather.
We also provide football birthday parties as requested by members and the general public.

Wednesday and Thursdays every week. The arrangement offers the older residents in the area to participate free of charge during the daytime from10-30am until 1-30pm centrally heated Community room. Tea and Coffee and snacks are offered free of charge.
Food Donation
