Who are ‘City Youth’?
St Albans City Youth Community Football Club (STACY) was founded in 1971 and over 50 fantastic years later the Club continues to grow and evolve and plays a leading and dynamic role in our community.
City Youth can now boast to be one of the largest grass roots sports clubs in the UK with over 1,250 players across 100 teams and with an age range of 7-18 years for boys and girls and open age for our broad range of Inclusive teams.
‘City Youth’ became a registered charity in 2001 and in the same year the club was awarded Charter Standard Club status by the FA. The Management Committee, Team Managers, Coaches and Admin. assistants give their time on a voluntary basis as do our Trustees.
The Club continues to increase in size year on year and also to expand its wide-ranging community delivery in both St Albans and the surrounding areas. The Blue and Gold of City Youth is one of the most highly recognisable sporting brands in Hertfordshire and we are immensely proud of our reputation for promoting inclusiveness, fair play and expanding sporting opportunity, particularly for young people with disabilities.
What are our Values?
Our aim is to deliver ‘Football for All’ and to be a self-sustaining Community Based Club, providing sporting opportunities to children and young adults. The Club has 3 core pillars, our Girls, our Inclusive and our Boys sections each supporting the other and enabling us to welcome all sections of our Community.
We aim to teach young people to be competitive but always fair and to display respect for the Club, for our environment, for our team-mates, managers, and coaches and crucially for themselves. Our recently launched Club Armbands represent this.
As a club we promote active and healthy lifestyles and educate our young people of the need for tolerance, inclusiveness and understanding.
What is our role in the Community?
City Youth has been delivering community projects across St Albans for over 25 years. Through the ‘Saints in the City’ partnership with St Albans City FC, our team of community coaches deliver a comprehensive programme of 12 community projects, that reach nearly 700 people per week aged 4 to 74. These projects range from Saturday Soccer School and our Girls’ Wildcats sessions to Inclusive football, encompassing a record 105 members with a range of disabilities, to Walking Football for men and women aged 50+ and our recently launched Female Recreational session. We also deliver projects in educational settings across the district that include lunchtime and after school clubs in primary and secondary schools. We are immensely proud of the work we do at Oaklands College helping integrate students who do not have English as a first language and our intervention project at the Links Academy. A local pupil referral unit.
