Our Story

A group of likeminded parents came together to set up a community football club in spring 2016.
The team was created entirely for the benefit of the children who play in it.
It was unique in a number of ways; the children were from different backgrounds and ability but with a common goal of developing new life and social skills, based around the principles of fair play and the enjoyment of football irrespective of ability, gender, race, colour or religion.

From the first day the children were the focus of our club. They chose the name, designed the badge and strips and the club listen to their views on how things are run.

What happens on the pitch was deliberately separated from the administration of the club.
Coaches are volunteers, no parents are coaches, the club is administered by a committee made up of parents.

The children originally trained in Clarkston, Airdrie and still do.

Our first set of strips were kindly donated by another Clarkston club, which sadly folded a few years ago. That is why the children chose the name Clarkston Colts

In May 2016, a successful Awards for All bid secured £4000 to help establish the club.

Head coach Scott Murphy was brought into the club in the summer of 2016.
