Chairpersons Welcome
We’re absolutely delighted to welcome you to St Clere’s FC.
​
It is my pleasure and privilege to be Chairperson of what I believe to be a fantastic club at the heart of the local community.
​
St Clere’s FC is a grassroots community-focused, FA Charter Standard based Club, providing football coaching for children and adults alike. We have large number of registered players who play in various leagues and is affiliated to Essex County FA.
As a club the health, safety, and welfare of every player is our first and most important priority. This is closely followed by our commitment to providing a happy and inclusive environment for players to learn and develop their football skills under the supervision of coaches, who are FA qualified and have the appropriate DBS safety checks and emergency aid qualifications.
I strongly believe that football is a game to be played and enjoyed by everyone and that success at grassroots should not be measured by the trophies we win, but by the number of players who choose to play for St Clere’s FC and continue to play for us throughout their childhood in to adulthood, with a sense of belonging and always with a smile, whatever the result. However, football is also a competitive sport and so we will help our players reach the best that their ability allows as an individual and as part of a team.
As Chairman, I feel it is vital that we follow an ethos that ensures the welfare of our players is paramount, that the club is open to all players regardless of gender, race, nationality, ethnic origin, colour, religion, sexual orientation, or perceived ability as a footballer. That all players, coaches and parents follow the club code of conduct and the FA Respect Codes of Conduct and that we do not follow a win at all cost’s philosophy.
Thank you to all our team sponsors.
Please remember.... This is a game. The coaches are volunteers. The referee is human
THIS IS NOT THE PREMIER LEAGUE!
​
Yours Sincerly,
​
Bill Mumford
