In the 2025/26 season we expect to see in excess of\u0026nbsp;37 teams compete across mini-soccer, colts and girls leagues with approaching 500 players.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\u0022text-align: justify;\u0022\u003eWe are proud to be\u0026nbsp;accredited as a 3* Charter Standard club by The FA and to have been the grassroots club of Lucy Parker (Aston Villa and England lioness). We are administered entirely by volunteers who give generously of their time and knowhow to make a difference to the communities of Cambridge and beyond.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\u0022text-align: justify;\u0022\u003eWe are headquartered at Chesterton Recreation Ground, albeit due to the size constraints of the playing area many larger format matches are played at other venues around Cambridge. Our girls section is headquartered at Nuns Way Recreation Ground which hosts adult 11-a-side and junior 11-a-side as well as 9-a-side, 7-a-side and 5-a-side formats. Our mini soccer home matches will be hosted primarily on 3G during the 2025/26 season at Abbey Leisure. We also use Abbey grass pitches for adult 11-a-side matches\u0026nbsp;and many fixtures will also be played at the Chesterton Sports Centre fields located at Castle School. The team web pages contain information on training day, training location (summer \u0026 winter) as well as the typical home match location for each team.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\u0022text-align: justify;\u0022\u003eOur teams tend to train mainly on astro as we place skill acquisition at the forefront of our ethos as well as recognising that all season round grass pitch training is unrealistic. All teams\u0026nbsp;benefit from professionally qualified coaching almost exclusively delivered by externally appointed coaches. Historically, some teams\u0026nbsp;have had a professionally qualified parent coach who volunteered to\u0026nbsp;coach their team and in the past this arrangement was accommodated\u0026nbsp;although\u0026nbsp;now, no new parent volunteer coaches are accepted. We do not pay parent coaches.\u0026nbsp;Team management is almost always taken on by volunteer parents from the team.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\u0022text-align: justify;\u0022\u003eAs a result of the academic institutions\u0026nbsp;and numerous scientific and tech industries that thrive in the area, Cambridge is a highly international city. Consequently, many of our players come from different parts of the world so if you\u0026nbsp;are looking for\u0026nbsp;a friendly grassroots football club that thrives on diversity\u0026nbsp;and welcomes all then get in touch using the button below. If there is a specific team you are looking to join then check out the Teams pages so you can make direct contact with the respective managers. If there is a specific team of interest be sure to mention that team name\u0026nbsp;in your enquiry.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\u0022text-align: justify;\u0022\u003eFinally, whilst the vast majority of our players are residents of the City of Cambridge, being a Cambridge resident is not a requirement in order\u0026nbsp;to be able to join the club.\u0026nbsp;We\u0026nbsp;always seek to hear from parents/players who are looking to join and we will do our best to help.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\u0022text-align: justify;\u0022\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\u0022https://www.chestertoneagles.org/Home/ContactUs\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022 class=\u0022btn btn-primary\u0022\u003eContact Us\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","ContentConfig":{"Caption":null,"Icon":null,"IconColour":null,"CaptionColour":null,"UnderlineColour":null,"TextColour":null,"FontSize":null,"LineHeight":null,"RequiresLoggedInUser":false,"BottomMargin":0,"PaddingLeft":"0px","PaddingTop":"0px","PaddingRight":"0px","PaddingBottom":"0px","PhoneVisible":true,"TabletVisible":true,"DesktopVisible":true,"CssClass":null,"PageLinkName":null,"PageLinkCaption":null},"ComponentCode":null,"ComponentError":null,"BottomMargin":"0px","PaddingLeft":"0px","PaddingTop":"0px","PaddingRight":"0px","PaddingBottom":"0px","CssClass":null,"ResponsiveClasses":"","PageLinkName":null,"PageLinkCaption":null,"Background":{"Colour":null,"ImageURL":null,"Filter":null,"IsParallax":false,"Image":"","Tint":""},"ImageConfig":{"ImageURL":null,"ObjectFit":"contain","ImageHeight":null,"FrameStyle":null,"BorderRadius":null,"Caption":{"IsActive":false,"Text":null,"SubText":null,"Font":{"Size":null,"Colour":null},"SubFont":{"Size":null,"Colour":null},"Alignment":null,"Position":null,"Margin":null,"BackgroundColour":null,"Blur":false,"Hover":false},"AltText":null,"LinkURL":null,"BottomMargin":0,"PaddingLeft":"10px","PaddingTop":"10px","PaddingRight":"10px","PaddingBottom":"10px","PhoneVisible":true,"TabletVisible":true,"DesktopVisible":true,"CssClass":null,"PageLinkName":null,"PageLinkCaption":null},"IgnoreCache":false}]}],"ColumnSpacing":"0px","BottomMargin":"0px","TopPadding":"0px","IsFullWidth":false,"IsBackgroundFullWidth":false,"Background":{"Colour":null,"ImageURL":null,"Filter":null,"IsParallax":false,"Image":"","Tint":""}}],"PageURL":"https://www.chestertoneagles.org/Cms/Spaces/DEFAULT/About+Us?version=24","AllVersions":[],"Comments":[],"UpdatedComments":[],"Spaces":[],"IsWatching":false,"LastViewTime":null,"CanEdit":false,"CanPublish":false,"CanCopy":false,"CanCreateTemplate":false,"CanComment":false,"CanReadComments":false,"CanModerateComments":false,"CanLike":false,"CanWatch":false}
