Community Club Structure

The development of your child as a footballer and as an individual is our main objective. From the beginning we promise to do everything we can to ensure that this occurs in a safe and enjoyable environment. If you do, however, feel this is not the case then please inform a member of the coaching staff or the Committee. The FA Accredited England Football scheme is designed to create the footballers and coaches of tomorrow with an outlet to adult football. Culdrose Youth is the Youth section of our Community Club; RNAS Culdrose Football Club.
The progression through the game formats is in line with the FA England DNA and Future Game Strategy.
