About Us
The story behind CORE FC and the people driving youth football development in Berkshire & Surrey.
Built for the
Love of the Game
CORE FC was born from a simple belief: every young player deserves access to quality coaching in a positive, supportive environment. Founded in Berkshire & Surrey, we set out to create something different — a football development centre where the focus is on the child, not just the scoreline.
Backed by CORE Teamwear, one of the UK's growing teamwear brands, CORE FC has the support and infrastructure to deliver a professional experience at grassroots level. From quality coaching to proper kit, everything is done right.
“We want every child to walk off the pitch with a smile, knowing they've improved.”
— Coach Dan, CORE FC
Whether your child is taking their first touch or preparing for competitive league football, CORE FC is designed to support every stage of their journey. We keep groups small, standards high, and the atmosphere welcoming.
Our Values
Develop
Every session is designed to help young players grow — technically, physically, and mentally. We meet each child where they are and help them take the next step.
Compete
We believe in the power of healthy competition. League matches at the weekends give players the chance to test themselves and experience real football.
Belong
CORE FC is more than a football club — it's a community. We create an environment where every child feels welcome, valued, and part of something special.
