We have children playing in our Mini Soccer School for U5s and U6s and league teams from U7s to U18s. We offer football for children with all levels of ability - there is a team for everyone.
Our teams compete in the Cambs Mini Soccer League, Cambs Colts League, Royston Crow League and Eastern Junior Alliance League (EJA). With over 500 children, our club is one of the largest in Essex and still growing. We were awarded the Essex FA Charter Standard Club of the Year in 2018 and continue to strive to achieve the highest standards.

Formed from a merger of Spartak 78 YSC and Saffron Walden Town Youth FC in 2018, the new Community club has grown and grown.We are a registered Charity (number 801764) and run by volunteers. All subscriptions go towards providing quality football for our members and supporting the qualification of our coaches.
" Football has to be fun for kids or it doesn't make sense. "
— Johann Cruyff
" We don't need to be screamers on the sideline. I think we can create an environment where the kid is in charge of his own game. "
— Jurgen Klinsmann
We support our volunteer coaches and assistant coaches by funding their attendance at FA training courses. We have one of the highest number of qualified coaches at any youth football club in Essex.
Our coaches and assistant coaches are all CRB checked and have a valid Safeguarding Children and Emergency Aid certificate. We take these qualifications and checks seriously. This is why we have maintained our FA Charter Standard for the last 5 years and were awarded Essex FA Charter Standard Club of the year in 2018.
All teams have at least one FA Level 1 qualified coach and many have two or more. We’ve also have 18 Level 2 qualified coaches at the club and these numbers are increasing all the time. One of our coaches has achieved UEFA B Level 3!
Our sister club Saffron Walden PSG offers league football for girls in Saffron Walden and the surrounding areas. Together we are raising the funds to support #myCommunity3G.
Our senior club partner, Saffron Walden Town FC, was formed in 1872, and are the oldest club in Essex still in existence, and the 19th oldest in the world. The “Bloods” as they are known, because of the red in the club colours were founder members of the Essex County Football Association in 1882. We aspire to provide the next generation of SWTFC players!

In partnership with Saffron Walden County High School, we are building a new state-of-the-art 3G pitch in 2021. Work is well under way - by the end of the summer this first-class football facility will be available for use by local children.

We’ve had a team of volunteers working hard over the last few weeks to make our pitches at Herbert's Farm Playing Fields and #LimeAvenue safe and ready for football ⚽️ ⚽️
We’ve dug out and levelled holes, returfed goalmouths, overseeded worn areas and centre spots and generally given as much TLC as possible 🌱
A rota of volunteers - and twice daily attention from KidzActive - has made sure that the newly turfed and repaired areas have had plenty of water 💦 🚿
The results are very satisfying - lush grass growth in an otherwise barren desert! 🐪
We’re leaving the protective fencing up and will continue to water 💧 every day. Please help us by keeping animals and children away from the repaired areas 🙏
