January 2006 saw the launch of a new Community Football Club in Kilbirnie.
The Club started with an amalgamation
of the following teams: Kilbirnie Ladeside, Kilbirnie Ryside U21's and
Kilbirnie Ladeside Youth teams at U17, U16, U13, U12, U11, U9 and U8.
The club has been
formed with the following objectives:
- To increase access to sports and leisure opportunities for the inhabitants of Kilbirnie and the surrounding areas.
- To develop a player pathway for local sport and leisure, thereby encouraging a more positive and healthy lifestyle for today's society.
- To develop social education programs that reflect the principles and policies of the club, to assist in building a safe and strong community.
The committee and
office bearers are made up from volunteers from the member
teams. They are working closely with the SFA, SYFA, NAC & NAL to
determine the best way forward in achieving these objectives and become
a recognised source of success within the community.
The club now has 17 teams
operating at the following age groups:-
Over 35s, Ladeside Juniors, Sunday league, u21s, u17s girls, u16s ,
u15s, , u14s, , u12s, u11s, u11s girls, u10s x2, u9s, u9s girls, u8s,
and a p1/p2 "saturday soccer school"
The club is hopeful of adding
new teams to this list in the future and is looking for coach /management
teams to take these forward.
The club continues to grow from strength
to strength.
