Cherrybrook FC is a recently formed football club by a group of parents who decided that they wished to see a different approach to children's football. In the past, some clubs have seemed to be dominated by managers shouting criticism at the children, arguing with referees and falling out with opposition supporters, whilst the children were overlooked and we felt that this was not the right example or approach. We top the behaviour and sportsmanships tables, for our players, officials and supporters in the leagues in which we participate and more than this we have been able to prove, that our approach of encouraging and assisting players need not be detrimental to success. (see our club history)
The first team which was formed in 2007 went on to win the Highfield Grange silver Jubilee tournament and from this, the cherrybrook club was formed with firstly an under 9's team, followed by an under 7's. The club now has at the last count 22 representative teams at various levels from under 6 to under 16.
The teams currently play in the Skem league and the Warrington League. Club training takes place at the soccerdome on a tuesday evening between 5:00and 6:00 to which all the squads are invited.
Despite only forming in 2007 the club has already developed excellent relations with a number of premiership clubs including Manchester United, Bolton, Blackburn, Burnley, Manchester City, Wigan Athletic, Everton and Liverpool and a large number of cherrybrook players attend their academies. (see club news). We strongly believe in the concept that every child should be given the opportunity to develop to their full potential, even if this is, at times, is detrimental to our club.

Would moving kids' football to a summer game help improve the development of young footballers?
Yes - better pitches mean a better chance to develop technique/skills
No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
