Wythenshawe Amateurs Football Club was established in 1946 and has a long and distinguished history. In the 1950's our club played against Manchester United and drew 2-2. We have 15 successful junior teams ranging from pre-school up to under 16's, 3 senior teams and two girl teams and a ladies team all competing in leagues around Manchester. Our Club is based on Longley Lane, Northenden, Manchester, M22. Most teams play in the Timperly and District Junior Football League and the South Manchester Girls league. Our home pitch is at Holly Hedge Park, Stancliffe Road, Wythenshawe. Our aim is to maintain a structured, yet friendly environment for children of the local area to participate in organised football activities. All of which is done on a voluntary basis by FA qualified Coaches and Club staff. We are well known in the local area so we decided to set up this web site to introduce ourselves to the rest of the world and also as a thank you to all the players, supporters, parents and club staff, without whom this club would be unable to exist.

We hope you check in regularly and keep yourselves abreast with all our latest results and news and enjoy following us through this and many seasons to come.

Players, parents and everyone connected with the club would like to thank the Manchester City Academy coaches, Darren, Johnny, Lewis and Nick for the brilliant session organised at Hollyhedge on Saturday 24th October, around 60 of our 5-9 year old players attended on the day and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. It is hoped that this is the first of many joint ventures between both clubs

Respect is The FA’s programme to address unacceptable behaviour in football – on and off the pitch.

On average, thousands of referees quit football every year because of the abuse they receive from players and from the sidelines. Lots of children also pack it in because of the attitude and actions of over-enthusiastic and pushy parents.

In response, The FA’s Respect programme provides a series of tools for leagues, clubs, coaches, Referees, players and parents from grassroots to elite football to ensure a safe, positive environment in which to enjoy the game.

These tools include agreed codes of conduct, in-service training for Referees, Respect club packs, spectator designated spectator areas and ensuring captains work with referees to manage player behaviour.

The FA has also launched a free online Respect Parent Guide to highlight examples of poor behaviour and, more importantly, how it can be improved. To see the Guide for Parents and carers click here .

The latest campaign in the Football Association’s Respect programme aims to help further reduce levels of anti-social behaviour both on and off the pitch. The hard hitting ‘Are you Losing it?’ campaign targets abusive grassroots players and parents, and encourages disaffected team-mates and spectators to put a mirror up to those most in need of a wake up call for their bad behaviour.

A Poem called Touchline Shouting by Simon Icke:

Touchline shouting, that's all I ever hear,

    I'm so confused and filled with fear.

    I'm only ten years old and football should be fun,

    But with all this noise I don't know which way to run.

    "Get back in defence!" my manager shouts.

    Dad shouts, "Get up front and deal with these louts!"

    Loud mouth supporter, who knows all the rules.

    (He takes the rest of us for fools)

    Shouts, "What are you doing lad? Your head's in a spin!"

    Is it any surprise, with all this din?

    I am only a boy, so why do you all try to destroy, what I'd love to enjoy?

    FOOTBALL SHOULD BE FUN !
