The Club's Teams are looked after by Managers who are appointed by the Board. Each Manager has at least one Assistant to help with the work of ensuring that each player has the opportunity to develop to his/her full potential. There are also two top class coaches working in the Club whose job it is to ensure that the Team Managers and their assistants pass on the right message to the players in terms of their ongoing football development.
Recently, the Club has set up two Football Committees - one for 11-a-side football and the other for 7-a-side football. These two Committees are committed to ensuring that the football played by the Club is of a high standard and commensurate with the abilities of the playing membership. In addition, there is a firm plan in place to set up a Parents' Committee in the near future to bridge that gap in communications that can develop between the Board of the Club and Parents of our young members.
Greystones United Football Club was formed in 1984 when two clubs, Greystones FC and Greystones Schoolboys FC amalgamated to form Greystones United Football Club. Since then, and particularly over the last 10 years, the Club has expanded to such an extent that it now fields 37 teams, 2 Development Leagues (for 6 and 7 year olds) and has a total membership of over 700.
Greystones United FC prides itself on an ethos that is inclusive rather than exclusive. All players are welcome to join the Club irrespective of football ability, social background and ability to pay a subscription. The Club’s Memorandum and Articles of Association state that the objectives of the Club shall be to:
• Promote the playing of soccer in the Greystones area, • Maintain and safeguard the interests of the members • Adhere to the objectives of the Leagues the Club is affiliated to.
Successive Management Boards of the Club have worked consistently and hard to achieve these objectives.During the first 22 years of its existence, the Club based itself in Darcy’s Field, which is located behind the North Beach in Greystones. Now, having completed a land-swap with Wicklow County Council in 2006, Greystones United has signed a 35 year lease of Woodlands Park and has moved to this 11 acre site located to the South of the town, within 5 minutes walk of the DART Station. By making this move, the Club is now in a position to develop the modern facilities that its members and the local community need so much. In every sense, this is indeed A NEW BEGINNING for Greystones United Football Club.
Feel free to join us ... You'll be most welcome!!
