Flitwick Eagles Football Club
About Our Club
Flitwick Eagles are very proud of their achievements over the years. We have provided hundreds of children with the opportunity to participate in football. Many have developed self confidence, fitness and continued to play the game long into adult life. We now have children playing for the club their Dad used to and former players now coaching their own teams.
Our reputation is largely based around parental experience of our work. This is generally very positive as evidenced by the awards won by the club. We are aware, however, that perception of Flitwick Eagles policies can be influenced by the negative experience of a parent or spectator. The club is therefore keen to ensure that the local football community is aware of our purpose and values, to have an understanding of the clubs heritage and to raise the appetite to become involved in the next chapter of our history.
Club Purpose
Our objective is to advance the education of boys and girls regardless of race, ability or social background from the town of Flitwick and surrounding areas by the provision of facilities and opportunities, in particular for playing football, so as to encourage their physical, technical, psychological and social development.
Club Mission
To be recognised by the community as the leading club in the area for the provision of football opportunities, facilities and coaching from toddlers to veterans.
