Welcome to the Cotgrave Colts Football Club Website.

Cotgrave is a small town situated south/east of the city of Nottingham. We have junior football teams ranging from Under-6's right up to Under-16's. Most of the teams play in the Young Elizabethan League.

Cotgrave Colts Football Club was formed in 1991 with the simple aims and objectives being (a) to promote and provide regular organised football for the benefit of the boys/girls of the area and (b) to foster and encourage good sportsmanship amongst its members.

Since that time the Club has continually grown and now provides regular football for approximately 200 boys/girls aged 6 to 16, every weekend.

Despite this continued growth the club has retained its admirable aims by providing a safe and friendly environment for the players to enjoy their football in the best traditions of Sportsmanship. Ian Lynn (Cotgrave Colts Chairman)

The colours of Claret & Blue are recognised within Nottingham football as being Cotgrave Colts colours. The first kit used was orange, which was supplied by Cotgrave Sports Association (CSA Colts) but we changed to claret when we brought ourselves a new kit during the 91/92 season and became Cotgrave Welfare Colts - every Cotgrave Colts team has worn Claret since. The Claret was copied from Cotgrave 'Villa' who Kev Cooper played for at the Colliery Ground and then disbanded the same season Colts started.

The Club has worked really hard to achieve the prestigious F.A Charter Standard. Managers/coaches/volunteers/parents and most of all the children of Cotgrave Colts can be extremely proud of this achievement. The award recognises the excellent standards of coaching, sportsmanship and care that our club provides.
