The Club
Thornbury Falcons Junior Football Club was formed in the summer of 1990 initially with just an Under 9s Boys team. We now cater for Under 6s to Under 16s, for boys and girls, and have over 350 families involved in the Club. The club is a parent led organisation with the simple aim to provide an environment within which all boys and girls are able to play, enjoy and develop all aspects of football. Thornbury Falcons is run by a Committee elected at the AGM that meets in the Chantry Community Centre at 8pm on every first Thursday in the month. All parents and players are welcome to attend.
The structure of the club can be summarised as follows:
- U6 & U7: concentration on learning ball skills and the rules of the game
- U8: learning more skills and introduction to seven-a-side friendly matches on small pitches
- U9: continuing to learn more skills and developing seven-a-side skills in friendly matches on small pitches with options to play in competitive matches
- U10: perfecting old skills, learning new more advanced skills and introduction to tactics; playing seven-a-side competitive league matches
- U11: perfecting old skills, learning new more advanced skills and introduction to tactics; playing seven-a-side or eleven-a-side competitive league matches
- U12: skills, tactics, fitness; playing seven-a-side or eleven-a-side competitive league matches
- U13 to U16: skills, tactics, fitness; playing eleven-a-side competitive league matches.
Although the club raises as much money as possible from within, we could not continue without the help and financial support of local businesses and organisations. We are particularly indebted to our sponsors, please visit our Sponsors page for a full list of sponsors, and support them where possible.
The Club also raises money from the parents, friends and families of the young players and an annual 6 a-side Tournament. We also run a "100" Club to raise further money for the Teams. Anybody interested in joining Thornbury Falcons in any capacity - player, referee or coach - please contact the Membership Secretary (see the Committee page for contact details).
