Welcome to Keyworth United
Community Football Club,
one of the oldest and
most respected football clubs in Nottinghamshire and the
proud owners of the FA’s highly coveted Community Club
status. Today we field over twenty teams with the Under 19
team playing in the M.A.A and two teams playing at senior
level in the Notts Senior League. There are also more than
ten junior sides playing in the Notts Youth and Young
Elizabethan Leagues and in the past few seasons we started
our first ever girls team. Since then, interest has been so
great that another three girls teams have been formed.
In line with our strong
emphasis on development, our senior teams regularly contain
players who have grown and developed through the junior
teams, and three generations of some families from Keyworth
have played for our village club. As we enter our second
century, our profile has grown from being a successful
men’s football team within the village, to having a profile
that has seen more than twenty new teams evolve, giving
hundreds of people within the local area, the opportunity
to represent the village of Keyworth.
Our strong
emphasis on junior and youth development has also seen our
players go on to sign for
.
Nottingham Forest,
Notts County, Derby County, Leicester City and Sheffield
United in recent years. David Riley and Mick Waitt also
signed from Keyworth United and played professionally for
Nottingham Forest & Notts County respectively. Mick has
since gone on to coach at international level.
A number of ex-professional footballers have also donned
the green shirt, Sammy Chapman, John Galley and Brian
Stubbs played here and Frank Wignall managed the first team
for a while. Towards the end of 2001 we became a
development centre for Leicester City Football Club thus
increasing our emphasis on developing young players and we
appointed a Youth Development Officer.
We have since become a
development centre for Derby County Football Club and are
one of the first clubs in England to have been awarded with
the prestigious Charter Standard Community Club Status and
in July 2004 we were awarded Notts FA Community Club of the
Year.
The Soccer Fun Day is
