About the club
Football for every young player in Kidsgrove
Kidsgrove Saints is a community football club for children and young people in Kidsgrove and the surrounding area. Our teams play in the North Staffs Junior Youth League, with home matches at Birchenwood Playing Fields in Kidsgrove and St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Goldenhill.
Every team is run by volunteer managers and coaches who give up their evenings and weekends so that local children can play. If you'd like to help out, whether that's coaching or running the line, we'd love to hear from you.

Room for everyone
Players of every ability are welcome, from 3v3 up to 11-a-side.
Run by volunteers
