Wilmslow Football Academy has produced the majority of the players in the junior ranks of all the football teams in Wilmslow since 2001, as well as several outstanding prospects at such clubs as Manchester United, City, Liverpool, Everton, Blackburn Rovers, Crewe, Macclesfield, Stockport County, Arsenal and even Bayer Laverkusen in Germany! Two of our U16's prodigies have also represented their country at International level with England and the Republic of Ireland.

Having enjoyed two years working alongside the seniors at Wilmslow Albion (Wilmslow's oldest football club), WFA was a founding partner in the 2009 formation of Wilmslow Town FC.

Wilmslow Town FC, working in conjunction with Wilmslow Football Academy, is being established as the premier junior football club in the Wilmslow area. Wilmslow Town FC runs Under 18s, Under 15s, Under 14s, Under 13s, Under 12s, Under 11s, Under 10s and Under 9s teams, as well as a veterans team. The club's junior sides play in the Timperley & District Junior Football League and the Stockport Metro League.

Our partnership with Wilmslow Town means that the club can tap into the talent being produced at the Academy in order to produce teams at junior level from the age of under 9's upwards. In return, WFA coordinates all the junior teams at the club, providing an outlet for the young players to establish themselves in a junior football team.

The objectives for Wilmslow Town are clear. The club should be attracting local players from grass roots football and bringing them through the junior ranks to U18 level.

Wilmslow Town, in partnership with WFA, reaches out to children via the Saturday morning soccer school at Ashdene and the hundreds of children coached at the after school soccer clubs in the area as well as the structured school holiday soccer camps that are held every half term around Wilmslow.

The partnership is still in its infancy but already the first batch of teams are producing excellent results. Wilmslow Town's junior teams are a formidable force in the Timperley and District Junior Leagues.
