Leamington Football Club and our charity partner, Brakes Community Foundation CIO, are delighted to announce that from season 2024/25, all junior teams that were previously affiliated to the club as Leamington Brakes Football Club, will now be known as Leamington FC Juniors and reside under the umbrella of our charity, Brakes Community Foundation CIO. 

The addition of the junior teams as one affiliation, will only enhance our already thriving community programme and importantly help align and further develop our current football pathway which offers a variety of sessions for aspiring footballers from age 3, all the way through to our successful Further Education Football and Education Programme (Under 19s).

By welcoming the juniors under one umbrella, it allows us as a Club and Charity to utilise additional staff resources to support the current committee with training sessions, managers / coaches Continual Professional Development (CPD), and importantly have a wider safeguarding resource to ensure we can support the welfare of all individuals associated with us here at Leamington Football Club and Brakes Community Foundation CIO, something the County FA are very supportive of.

We look forward to accessing additional funding and resources through the FA and their partners, as well as gift aid due to our Charity status. 

Head of Football Development Chris Knott, had this to say regarding the impending changes: “We are delighted to be welcoming the junior sections to work with us at the Club (Leamington FC) and Charity (Brakes Community Foundation CIO) starting in this coming season. 

"We have a plethora of staff and resources at our disposal which we believe will only enhance the current junior section and all the hard work Matt Turner, his players, management teams and families have achieved to this point. 

"As a Football Club and Charity, we felt it was imperative to have all of our teams under one umbrella with a clear staffing and reporting structure to enhance the experience for all players and families associated with us.

"Birmingham County FA have been really supportive throughout, and identified the positive change was required in order for us to access more funding and cement our place as one of the leading providers in the County. We will continue to work closely with them throughout the season.

"This season we have seen success on the pitch for all of our sections, and lots of progress for the charity, Brakes Community Foundation CIO, off the pitch, as it continues to grow our community footprint."

If you would like any further information regarding the boys and girls junior section, or any other enquiries please email chris.knott@leamingtonfc.co.uk 

This Saturday when Leamington host Coventry City XI, both sets of fans, players and staff will come together to remember 12 year old Keaton Slater who was tragically killed in a hit and run in Coventry last month.

When fans enter the turnstiles, there will be a collection in aid of the fundraiser set up for Keaton's family and any donations will be massively appreciated. The collection will be presented to the family in the bar after the game.

Keaton's parents Louise and Clint as well as his brothers will lead the players onto the pitch before Your Co-op Community Stadium will fall silent for a minute in Keaton's memory.

The family will then join our match sponsors HB&O in our hospitality box for the game with complimentary refreshments. 

Please join us and show your support for both the Slater family, and the wider Coventry City and football family.
