Team Information

Cottenham U10s were formed in 2014. The then U7s split into 2 teams and entered the league the following year as the traditional Reds and Blacks playing in the Cambs U8 Mini league.

​

In to our 4th season, both teams are still doing well. With the rare chance of it happening, both ended up in the same league, the big village derby match ended 1-1, more fun to watch than a Merseyside derby!

​

The Reds and Blacks share training during the week but occasionally look to mix the teams a little in other friendlies and tournaments throughout the year where possible. 

​

Our focus is to develop player’s footballing skills, both individually and as a team in a fun and friendly environment.  Promoting enjoyment of football at all abilities and giving everyone a chance to play is a key principle!

​

Over the years we have had several boys involved in Cambridge United, Ipswich, Norwich City and Histon Development Centres. 

​

Both of the U10 football teams are sponsored by Quickcall
