We are the grassroots football club for Burley- in-Wharfedale and an Accredited Club of The Football Association.
The club can trace its roots back to 1935 with the Juniors formed in 1985. We are now a single club with over 400 registered players playing for over 30 teams. In the Junior section, teams range from Under 6s to Under 18s. In recent seasons we have seen significant growth in junior girls’ football and now have over 100 girls playing regularly. Our teams all play in local leagues and are run by FA qualified coaches who are all volunteers, without whose support the club would not function.
Our aim is to provide a positive experience of football in a safe and supportive environment so players can enjoy the game, develop their skills, teamwork and have fun playing with their friends. The majority of players come from Burley in Wharfedale, and home games are played on three sites within the village – Scalebor Park, Ghyll Royd and the Recreation Ground. Training sessions are mainly at weekends either on the village pitches or local artificial turf pitches over the winter. The club is always looking for new players and enthusiastic volunteers. If you’d like to find out more about how you could get involved, please get in touch.

Our Partners
What is a pump track and why will Burley In Wharfedale benefit?
Well, first of all, pump tracks are both playgrounds and training facilities for bikers, skateboarders or scooter riders of all skill levels and ages. They are highly popular destinations that become a hive of community activity. Riders enjoy practicing the basic skills of carrying momentum, improving balance and building speed by using their arms and legs to pump their bike/board/scooter around the track.
As riders improve their skills, the tracks are designed to provide the option for more challenges with increased speed and skill, so no matter your age or skill level. There will be plenty of fun for all.
The plan, supported by the Parish Council and Community Trust, is to construct a pump track at the rear of the recreation ground, replacing the current skatepark and a portion of the adjacent field space without encroaching onto the football pitch. The project will consist of a specific balance bike and accessibility track as well as a fully landscaped, larger track for everyone else. A track like this will really bring the community together in a positive way that will benefit the health of wellbeing of so many. We’ll be using world class contractors, Velosolutions for the planning application and construction of the project.
