Failsworth Dynamos was founded formally in 1997 and will celebrate 10 years as a club this year. At present we operate with 23 teams ranging from U5’s to open age for boys, youths and men and U14’s girls with plans to launch a womens team shortly and we are also looking to provide football for the disabled in the future.

The Club is a charter standard Club, this means that we have been audited by the Football Association and meet all the necessary requirements and criterea for the first class progression of young footballers in a safe and friendly environment.

All new managers are screened carefully to ensure that all Charter Standard requirements are met and all coaches are qualified to at least FA level 1. The club has a clear constitution which is issued to every player and manager and the full committee consisting of all club officials, managers and coaches meet every month to review progress and improve the club.

On the field of play our success and achievements are second to none and more importantly the club prides itself on being friendly and family orientated and sets itself a challenge of finding the correct balance between success both on the pitch and off it with player welfare being of paramount importance. Below you will find just some of the rules, regulations & guidelines that we adhere and operate within.

Football, particularly Junior Football, is a very competitive sport and this is demonstrated both on and off the pitch. Failsworth Dynamos recognise the difficulties that all clubs face in allowing a competitive approach but maintaining a very high level of sportsmanship amongst players and supporters.
