Bishops Cleeve Colts FC

YOUTH FOOTBALL CLUB IN
BISHOPS CLEEVE, GLOUCESTERSHIRE

Bishops Cleeve Colts Football Club was founded by Len Taylor in 1971. The Chair has changed regularly over the years but the club’s ethos is still as strong today as it was then.

We believe in giving our local young people a quality start to their personal and social development from an early age.
We’re not just about teaching boys and girls how to kick a ball and score goals.
Winning is great, but we’re committed to helping develop healthy, fit, active and happy local citizens of the future.

Player enquiries

Register your child's Interest

We have a lot of teams from u5 to u18 and it's always worth registering your child's interest, even if some are full.

The coaches of your child's age group will be notified about your enquiry and we'll reply to let you know if spaces are available. 

If we don't have space, maybe you could help us start a new team, new volunteers are our lifeblood, without which we would have no teams at all!

teams

U5s to U18s, Boys and Girls

Teams from U12 thru U18 typically play games on Sunday afternoons, training varies team to team in mid-week.

Conor graham 

Coach

Seeing the lads progress throughout the season provides a great feeling. Like you're able to give back the way others have done for my football in the past.

Keith carter

Coach

For me coaching isn't about trophies and league titles, its about sharing the sport I love with the kids, seeing them grow and develop in a safe, enjoyable and supportive environment.
