Founded in 1975 Cosby United Youth & Junior Football Club started playing 11 a side football. Keeping young people active in and around the Cosby area.

Founded in 1975 Cosby Utd Yth & Jnr started playing 11 a side football. In 2004 we joined the Mutual League and started to play mini soccer.

We have progressed to 8 teams during the 2010 /11 season. 5 of those playing mini soccer, 2 in the 9 v 9 leagues, and 1 in the Youth League.

The 2010-2011 season will be the first time Cosby has had a girl’s team playing in the Leicester girl’s League.

In recent years we have been successful with our u16s coming runners up in the 2007-2008 season, and then going unbeaten to win the League in the 2008-2009 season. Also that season our u9s were runners up in their division and went on to be the champions of division 9 in the 2009-2010 season.

In April 2009 we achieved Charter Standard status and more recently we were nominated for Charter Standard club of the year where we were runners up.

We have provided school links with 2 local schools, Cosby Primary School and Orchard Primary School in Broughton Astley, where some of our coaches conducted after school football training. This then went on to provide us with new children to come to our club and play for us.

All our coaches are minimum level 1 and are CRB checked with some going on the age related football courses this year.

We train during the winter months at Brockington Community College and at County FA so we can train in a safe environment for the kids.

We would also like to thank local community groups who have generously given us grants to keep providing fun football for all the local children. These are Blaby Voluntary Action Group, Leicester CVS, Leicestershire County, and the Football Foundation.
