The objective of the club is to provide facilities for and promote participation of the whole community in the sport of football.

Gomersal & Cleckheaton FC was formed in 1977 with the same aims as we currently have: providing a safe and fun place for people from the local area to play football. Today there are over 350 playing members in around 27 teams from under 6’s to Open Age.

Our ethos at the club is to ensure we provide a safe and fun environment for all children and young adults to continue developing their football skills and team development throughout their Gomersal & Cleckheaton life. We aim for the highest standard possible, without becoming professional players. We continue to maintain that ethos, looking to improve both Saturday and Sunday teams over the coming seasons in order to compete and challenge for divisional titles and cups.

We are affiliated to the Football Association and are a Charter Standard Club. In order to maintain that important accreditation we help to support the volunteer managers and coaches with FA qualifications, DBS verification and first aid training. That accreditation gives parents, guardians and supporters the confidence that the players are participating and developing in a safe and well-run environment.

We ask our local community to do what they can to help, support and encourage the players and the volunteers who give up their free time to make all this possible as without them we would not have a club. Any donations made will help to sustain Gomersal & Cleckheaton FC as a purely non-profit organization to provide junior football opportunities to local children.

The Club will abide by the Football Association's Child Protection Policies and Procedures, Codes of Conduct and the Equal Opportunities and Anti-Discrimination Policy in the furtherance of its objective.

To provide facilities suitable for such a high standard of amateur football, we founded East Bierley Community Sports Association, to take ownership of our ground, which was secured by an asset transfer from Kirklees Council on a 125 year lease.

As part of the expanded club we undertake fundraising to fulfill our plans to keep improving the ground facilities – i.e a better playing surface, training areas, floodlights, and possibly a clubhouse.

We welcome players who want to challenge for a place in any of the teams, to play at a high standard, improve our teams and want to enjoy playing amateur football in West Yorkshire.

Membership of the Club shall be open to anyone interested in Association Football on application regardless of sex, age, disability, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, religion or other beliefs. However, limitation of membership according to available facilities is allowable on a non-discriminatory basis.
