OUR FOOTBALL CLUB
Barton Rovers Football Club aims to provide football coaching, training and competitive youth football for boys and girls within the Reading, Berkshire area and we also run adult men football teams.
- Barton Rovers FC is one of the largest youth football clubs in Reading with over 250 registered players.
- In 2004 we were one of the first clubs in the Reading area to achieve the F A Charter Standard and in May 2013 we were awarded the coveted FA Community Club Charter Standard. We are the only official Club in the West Reading area to hold this status.
- We have a reputation for fair play, sportsmanship, good organisation and the development of youth soccer, and set high standards for attitude and behaviour on and off the pitch. .
- We hold a Development Centre on Friday evenings to coach soccer skills in partnership with Procision Football Coaching for children from age 4 to age 6 in a safe and friendly environment.
- With the support of Little Heath School and Tilehurst Parish Council, our home grounds in Tilehurst provide us with excellent playing facilities for mini soccer and 11 a side formats.
- We are represented in the East Berks Football Alliance, East Berks Football League, Reading & West Berkshire Football League and the Reading Sunday League.
- We run a well organised annual football tournament in July.
Barton Rovers can offer your child a safe, friendly and structured environment for them to enjoy football in the Reading area.
