LEAMINGTON have confirmed all of their junior teams will play under the Leamington FC juniors named from the 2024/25 season.
Residing under the umbrella of the club’s charity partner, the Brakes Community Foundation CIO, all junior teams previously affiliated to the club as Leamington Brakes Football Club will now play under the Leamington FC juniors name.
The addition of the junior teams as one affiliation will enhance the club’s community programme and align the football pathway at Leamington.
Leamington’s head of football development, Chris Knott, said: “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.”
The club can also access additional funding and resources through the FA and their partners as well as gift aid due to the charity status of the Brakes Community Foundation CIO.
