Welcome to the home of Old Parmiterians Football Club
a Charter Standard Club. The club was founded over 110 years ago and is a member of the Amateur Football Combination League
(AFC), Essex Veterans League and affiliated to The Amateur Football Alliance
and the Essex FA. Select About Us to read more about the club.
The club is based in Walthamstow and runs 6 senior league sides and
two Veterans teams.
There is a sister Old Boys Club of the same name based at Parmiters School in Garston which plays in the Herts County League. This club is made up from leavers from the school. You can find out further information about the club by
going to their website at Old Parmiterians FC (Garston)
The Club has been awarded Charter Standard
Status by the FA. This is a statement from the Football
Association to say that the club is well organised and is set up to accommodate
young players wishing to play in Senior football. We have set new polices as a result. We are also getting many of our
managers and players qualified through coaching and first aid courses and
training is managed by level 1, 2 and 3 coaches to help develop the tactics and skills among the younger
players.
The Club is always looking for new players of a
good standard in ability, sportsmanship and behaviour. We are also looking to forge new links with other youth
clubs, schools, and Sunday teams to provide Saturday football for
players over the age of 16 up to Vets football for the over 35s. If you want to play for the club, the email link
for contacting the Secretary is below. We provide football for all abilities
from semi pro standard to the over 35s who play competitive Vets
league football.
OPFC is a member of the Amateur Football
Combination League, which provides football for players of all abilities. This is the largest league in Europe with over 100 clubs and 360 teams.
This league is regionalised up to 1st team level which will cut down the amount
of travelling for most teams and make it easier for the younger players to play
their football without having to travel long distances for away games. The AFC
has initiated a campaign called the Spirit of Football which is aimed to
promote good sportsmanship and fair play and a respect for opponents and
referees. The campaign will also focus on reducing violence, abuse and cheating
which is unfortunately too prevalent today. The club supports this campaign 100%
and expects its members to do the same.
