The Club has recently had its Charter Standard Status renewed 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 and even older 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 up to semi pro standard and for the over 35s who play competitive Vets league football. We have also just started an over 45s team which will play in a league for the first time.

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. The FA have launched a similar scheme this season called Respect which we also support.

There is also a sister Old Boys Club of the same name based at Parmiters School in Garston which plays in the Herts County Senior 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)
