Copmanthorpe Football Club was founded in 1962 with one Senior team playing in the local league, it has now approx 300 members spread over 3 senior and 12 junior teams and is also a Soccability Coaching Centre (Pan Disability) for boys and girls across the region wanting to participate in football.
In December 2004 Copmanthorpe FC was awarded the highest accolade by the FA ‘Community Charter Standard’ since then we have increased the very successful girls section and more recently in Dec 2005 established a very popular Soccability coaching centre targeting disabled players from all across the region
Coach development is a priority at Copmanthorpe FC, with Team Managers and Coaches actively encouraged and supported through The FA’s Coach Education programme organised by the NRCFA. And it is thanks to the dedication of all the coaches and managers who in their volunteer role keep the club running with not only the training and matches but also fundraising, with the most recent a very successful sportsman’s dinner attended by guest speakers Jeff Winter and John Stiles.
The overall principles are of sport for all, sportsmanship and with the ever-increasing quality of coaching our aim is for every one to reach their full potential.
As a York City feeder club, Copmanthorpe has benefited by receiving additional help from the 'City' coaching staff, playing games against the 'City' representative teams and allowing access to their facilities. In turn a large number of able young players have been taken into the York representative teams with a good number over the last 40 years going on to play professional football.
The Sat 1st and Reserve team play in The York and District Leeper Hare league and hold lofty positions in the Premier, and Reserve A Division. A large number of the junior sides also hold 1st division status in most cases three divisions of very popular York and District Leagues.
