 Do you have a football-mad son or daughter in Reception or Year 1 at school?
Our MiniKickers section for boys and girls aged 4 to 6 is one of the longest-running and successful in the Chippenham area - many of our current under-18s squad started their football journey with this group and are still proudly playing in black and white stripes today!
We're always on the lookout for new recruits (as well as aspiring parent coaches!). We're an award-winning, Charter Standard club and all of our teams are coached by fully-checked FA-qualified coaches. All drills are fun-based and our ethos means players of all abilities are welcome.
Our MiniKickers currently train indoors at Sheldon School sportshall from 9am-10am on Saturday mornings during term time. After Easter, sessions are held outside on grass at Yatton Keynell. The first 4 sessions are free as a taster and, after that, children can get a year's worth of coaching for onl;y £20.
For more information please email MiniKickers coach Jamie Harris at

Castle Combe Colts' annual summer spectacular lived up to its proud reputation in Wiltshire and beyond as around 3,000 people savoured scintillating football in scorching temperatures at the club's picturesque HQ.
The tournament sells out every year and certainly didn't disappoint those who made sure their name was on the entry list. The event is unique in that it showcases the talents of young footballers right across the age spectrum, from 4 to 18.
There was joy and despair as teams battled it out for the honours, but the players deserve immense credit for making sure the values of respect and sportsmanship were upheld throughout the three days.
The club pays tribute to every single one of them for helping to create a wonderful spectacle, and would also like to say a big thank you to...
- The parents, friends and family who came along to cheer from the sidelines.
- Our superb team of referees and their guru, Julian Sattin.
- The army of volunteers from across the age groups, who flipped burgers, parked cars, served tea and refreshments, recorded results, set up pitches, packed them away afterwards and did everything else besides.
- Tireless tournament organisers Mandy Overfield and Katie Sheppard and grounds manager Bradley Milburn-Anderson, together with the rest of the Colts committee.
- The local businesses who helped with expertise and goods, including the Lysely family, Chippenham Pallet Company, MJ Church, Corsham Print, Practical and ByBrook Valley School.
- And, when it came to the one thing out of our control, the weather gods for ensuring the conditions matched the setting and the football on show.
It was a festival that showcased all that is brilliant about youth football but we really couldn’t have done it without the support of those listed above.
Thanks a million and we look forward to welcoming you all again in 12 months’ time.

We invite you all - old friends and new - to come and join us in a Festival of Football.
On behalf of Castle Combe Colts I have great pleasure in inviting your club to enter teams into our annual tournament to be held at Castle Combe Sportsfield. You may enter a maximum number of 4 teams in any or all of the following age groups:
Friday, June 28: U17/18 Lads
Saturday, June 29: U7, U8, U10, U12, U14 Mixed, U16 Boys
Sunday, June 30: U9, U11, U13 Mixed, U15 Boys
NB: Please note these allocations may be subject to change, depending on number of entries.
Entry forms can be downloaded at the bottom of this letter.
Our Friday night offering goes back to U18 Lads this year. After disappointing take up from this age group last year we ask you to enter early as we will make a decision in early spring as to whether we run this competition. Likewise, unfortunately we have had to abandon our attempts at getting Girls competitions going due to lack of interest in previous years.
All entries will be dealt with on a first come, first served basis. The entry fee will be £25 per team. We will charge £3 per car for parking and a programme.
Additional programmes can be purchased from the sellers at £2 each. Every effort will be made to accommodate an entry of 4 teams per team per age group, but should this not be possible any money banked for teams that we cannot fit in will be refunded.
Cheques should be made payable to Castle Combe Colts FC and be sent with an application form to Katie Sheppard at the address shown on the form. Internet payments can be made and forms sent by email can be used as detailed on entry form but places will not be allocated until both are received.
The closing date for entries is May 31st 2019. Confirmations will be sent by email after this date so please include your email address.
Please note that the tournament is only open to teams affiliated to their own County Football Association. No academy teams or players are allowed – see rules for more information.
No refunds shall be considered should any team be withdrawn from the tournament, within 2 weeks of the event. Those of you who have been with us before will know that the entire field is used for what it is intended for - playing football or watching it - and it is a wondrous sight. There will be zero tolerance on alcohol and drugs – any consumption on site will result in expulsion for that team.

IT'S OFFICIAL: CASTLE COMBE COLTS ARE THE BEST IN THE WEST |

Castle Combe Colts topped the table of Charter Standard clubs across the entire region by scooping a hugely prestigious Football Association awards double.
When Colts chairman David Lewis and secretary Trevor Newman accepted an invitation to annual Wiltshire FA Community Awards gala dinner, staged at Trowbridge’s Civil Hall on July 20, the height of their expectations was either an honourable mention or a repeat of the Highly Commended spot they earned at the same event in 2016.
Following immensely deserved gongs for grassroots heroes including referees, groundsmen, and volunteers, the awards for individual clubs were saved until last. Then, as Lewis and Newman listened in, a citation began which kept ringing with familiarity…
It included: "Formed in 1997, up to 300 players, 16 teams, highly successful Minikickers division, first club in Wiltshire to raise money specifically for and purchase a community defibrillator.
And ended with: "The award for Best Charter Standard Club in Wiltshire 2016/17 goes to CASTLE COMBE COLTS FC.”
But that piece of news was just the beginning, as the master of ceremonies continued ….
"The Colts were further entered into the South West Regional competition and emerged victorious in that as well. The judges recognised the club for an all-inclusive style, respectful club ethos and an attention to detail, meaning that all Colts emerge from the process better equipped for life than when they started there.”
After collecting the awards, a proud and delighted Newman said: “This is a truly amazing honour when you think of the numbers of clubs and all the fantastic volunteers driving those clubs forward.
“I have to say the level of support we are given by the Wiltshire FA – particularly the likes of Tim Hall, Kate Foote and Jodie Jordan – is outstanding. These people also repeatedly go 'above and beyond' the call of duty - we thank them so much.
“I say it often but never has it had a truer meaning - BE PROUD TO BE A COLT.”

Castle Combe Colts’ annual Festival of Football demonstrated that the beautiful game is alive and kicking as 200 teams showed off their skills in the sunshine.
A wonderful weekend of action featured the full range of age groups, with Reception and Year 1 children from the Colts’ own MiniKickers section having their chance to shine on the same pitches that saw under-16s boys and girls teams battle it out for the silverware.
Teams and their armies of supporters came from across Wiltshire, Bath, Bristol and Gloucestershire and were able to savour an event that ran like clockwork across three days thanks to the tireless efforts of the Colts’ committee, parent volunteers who parked cars, flipped burgers and served tea and coffee, as well as a mightily impressive team of referees assembled by Julian Sattin.
In all, 522 matches took place on immaculately prepared pitches and the increasingly-popular showpiece served up the usual mixture of cheers and tears from the participating teams. Respect – a word at the very heart of the Colts’ ethos – fantastic sportsmanship and fun were the real winners, however, and ensured all who visited the club’s picturesque headquarters enjoyed a day to remember.
The hosts came so close to grabbing the honours in two age groups, with the under-11 Whites and under-14 Whites edged out in close finals by Bishops Cannings and Bath City Blacks respectively. Trophies were largely shared across the board, with Bath Arsenal under-7s and FC Chippenham Jaguars under-8s collecting the two Fair Play Awards.
Proud Colts chairman David Lewis paid tribute to all who made the footballing feast possible, saying: “It was great to see so many different grassroots clubs represented across the weekend and we hope their experience was such that they will consider visiting us for many years to come.
“It takes a fantastic effort by many volunteers to ensure our tournament goes ahead, is run smoothly and this experience is an enjoyable one. I would like to personally thank every volunteer for their contribution to our tournament and extend and additional thank-you to our committee, who spend many hours in preparation and planning for the weekend.”
The club also extended its thanks to key tournament supporters the Lysley Family, Colin Ward, Chippenham Lions Club, Chippenham Pallet Company, MJ Church, Practical Van Hire and By Brook Valley School for in helping to make the event such an enormous success.
