FOOTBALL CLUB
A
E Phoenix FC is a
Chartered Standard Club
that is based in Ashington
that was established in
2005 by a group of pro-active parents
that wanted to start a football club for
children no matter what their ability
was.
The club started the first season with
just 1 boys’ team which has steadily
grown to the 14 teams which started the
2014-15 campaign, including boys, girls
and men’s senior teams. This season has
also seen the club link up with 2 local
schools including a school for children
with disabilities that will see the club
establish the first disability football team
from Ashington for the 2015-16 season.
The club gained the FA Charter
Status only a few months after being
formed and is working alongside the
Northumberland FA to move up to
Development Status by the beginning of
next season and to achieve Community
Status within 2 years.
With the club having its most
successful season in its history the
atmosphere is buoyant with teams
already in 4 cup finals and all doing
well in their respective leagues with the
possibility of a few league titles.
There have been many challenges
over the years, whether it be as a
Secretary, Coach or any other role within
the club. In rising to these challenges the
reward is nothing less than spectacular
when you see young children proudly
wearing the clubs strip, playing football
with a smile on their face makes the
hard work and difficult challenges all
worthwhile.
Now that the club is well
established and has a firm
foundation we can push
the club further and
as part of that the
club will be
changing its
name
to
Ashington Town Football Club for the
start of the 2015-16 season. This will
allow people to know where we are
from and continue the proud heritage
that football has in Ashington.
The outlook for the club has never
looked so good with a large number
of pro-active parents, fantastic and
dedicated coaches and most importantly
over 140 children from ages 6 to 18 years
old that give their all week in week out,
no matter the weather or winning or
losing. The ambition of the club is to
“With the club having its
most successful season in its
history the atmosphere is
buoyant with teams already
in 4 cup finals and all doing
well in their respective leagues
with the possibility of a few
league titles.”
