What a weekend!

Another fantastic CCCFC Summer Festival seemed even more special this year after a long 24-month wait.

With Covid restrictions not long eased, our event was slimmed-down for 2021 to create more space - but the atmosphere around the sportsfield was as electric as ever as young footballers from Wiltshire and beyond relished the platform they were given in the most beautiful setting for miles around.

We were delighted to hear so much positive feedback from our visitors and at the end of an action-packed three days must say some thank-yous to the heroes who made it all possible…

- Tournament organisers Katie Sheppard and Mandy Overfield

- Our army of parent helpers and committee members who parked cars, kept score, marshalled the clubhouse, picked up litter and served refreshments

- Brad Anderson of Prestige Grounds for preparing six immaculate pitches

- Able Scaffold of Bath for answering our late call for a stage

- Julian Sattin and his top team of referees

- The spectators who came, observed the guidance and offered so much encouragement from the sidelines

- And finally, most importantly, the hundreds of players aged 4-18 who were the stars of the show - your goals, saves, smiles and sportsmanship offered proof if ever it were needed that football is the greatest game of all

We hope everybody who came along had as much fun as we did and can’t wait to welcome you back in even bigger numbers when normality returns in 2022.

Not even lockdown can stop the Colts getting results!

We're proud and delighted to announce Wiltshire's No 1 grassroots club has earned FA Charter Standard accreditation for yet another season.

We're committed to providing a safe, fun and inclusive place for every member of the Colts family to play, enjoy and be inspired by the game and this recognition underlines the tireless efforts of our volunteer army of coaches and committee members - secretary Mike Poole deserves special mention for ensuring compliance with the FA's thorough guidelines.

This status is not easily won - especially in this most testing of years - and proves once again our club is built to last and the best for miles around.

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 train on Saturday mornings during term time. Sessions are held outside on grass at Yatton Keynell or Castle Combe, or indoors at Sheldon School depending on the time of year. The first 4 sessions are free as a taster and, after that, children can get a year's worth of coaching for only £20.
