Ilkeston Town Football Club

At Ilkeston Town Football Club, Alex and the team have been kicking about for over 30 years, nurturing young talent right here in Ilkeston. They’ve got junior and youth programmes that have seen local lads and lasses move up to senior football. As a Chartered Standard Community Club with Derbyshire FA backing, they’re all about giving kids and teens a top-notch place to learn and love football.

The junior section? Over 400 footy-mad kids, aged 4 to 18, boys and girls. They start with the Mini Robins for the 4 to 6-year-olds - it’s all about sparking that love for the game early on.

And it’s not just the kids who are committed. With over 100 volunteers and coaches trained by the FA, everyone’s dedicated to keeping the football experience top-tier. Many coaches even go beyond the basics, always learning to bring their best to the pitch.

What makes it special? The community vibes. When Ilkeston Town hits the home ground, it’s electric – players, coaches, and fans all buzzing with energy. Matches are a must-see!

Alex and the crew also champion values like teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship, on and off the pitch. They’re not just building athletes; they’re shaping well-rounded individuals who can tackle both football and life.

Ilkeston Town Football Club welcomes everyone, from newbies to future football stars. Fancy joining in? Or maybe just want to experience the thrill of match day? Alex and the gang invite you to be part of the excitement.
