Tintwistle Athletic FC is a relatively new club affiliated to the Derbyshire FA. 

 

We are based in Tintwistle, in the High Peak in Derbyshire. Along with Tintwistle Cricket Club

(www.tintwistlecc.org) we are proud to provide sporting opportunities for both juniors and open age within this

rural community.

 

We were known as FC Tintwistle Villa, but               

we were asked to change our name because we were

too similar to another open age club.

 

We started 6 years ago with an U14's team, who have played

open age football for the first time in season 2008/09 with 

Lancashire and Cheshire League, having won the U18's

division in season 2007/08.

 

A year later we added an additional team who are now

U16's and a year later added a further team, who are now

U11's. We have a brand new U10's squad this season.

 

We have now re-newed our FA charter Standard to Oct 2011. This is a great

achievement  by everyone at the club. All our coaches are qualified to FA Level 1 and are

CRB checked. We have a Child Welfare Officer who is approachable by players and parents and the email address is on the contact page.

 

Season 2007/08 the U18's went to Belgium and Holland, while the U14's went to Blackpool for a long weekend tournament.
