Shelley
“Stafflex first got involved with Shelley Community
Football Club in 2016.
We have a long tradition of sponsoring local
projects across a wide range of activities and
as the club is recognised as a hub for sports in
the local area, we thought it would be a great
opportunity to get involved.
Huddersfield’s own recruitment agency
We haven’t been around
since 2000 by chance. We’ve
forged long-term relationships
with our customers in the
education, office, industrial
and engineering sectors, filling
temporary and permanent roles
quickly and easily to take the
strain out of recruiting.
The commitment shown by the club in helping
grassroots sports, community groups and
especially the disabled is simply breath-taking and
we know that every penny of our investment will go
in to making a real difference at grassroots level.
We follow the club’s progress regularly through
their social media and we are delighted to see that
they are holding their own after securing promotion
last year. From everyone at Stafflex we would like
to wish the club all the best in the future and we
look forward to continuing our support with the
club.”
Nemi Alexis, Marketing Executive at Stafflex
Everyone that comes to our club
always speak very highly of our facilities
and how well we maintain it so that
every game can be played every week.
We also have a very good working
relationship with Barnsley FC as we
run their Development Centre at our
Storthes Hall Facilities for children aged
6-11 years old, so with this the club has
always got a good mood about it.”
This Season
“This season we have grown our
junior section to the biggest it’s ever
been. We have over twenty junior teams
ranging from U7s – U18s; we also have
an U19s team and four adult teams
respectively. We are also partnering with
Mini Kicks section for children age 2-6
years old in April which will let us then
feed into our U7s section. We also have
links with Huddersfield Town Ladies
FC who are a partner on the facility with
us and they also provide football to girls
from the age of 10.
We also now provide walking
football to over 50s which has been a
huge success this season for us and
alongside this we played our first
Shelley Vets team last month against the
local Huddersfield University Side with
Shelley coming out 5-2 winners. We
will be looking at keeping the Vets team

Shelley Community Football Club
running on a monthly basis moving
forward. So for me everyone associated
with Shelley CFC from coaches, part
time volunteers, parents, kids this season
so far has been a success.”
2019
“Our plans were to finish all our
ground improvements which is very
important to the club so that our first
team could make the step up on the
football pyramid into the Countries
football league.
The first team alone have their
eyes set on finishing in the top half of
the table in their first season in their
countries league. We also want all our
teams from juniors to seniors to finish
the season well, and build to offer even
more opportunities for local children
and adults to benefit from the use of the
facility.”
Youth
“Youth football is very important
to the club; we have over 350 children
signed on with us this season from Aged
5 to 18 and without them then there
would be no youth football at our club.
All our coaches are FA Qualified and this
for us is important so that we can give
our all players the best possible coaching
at our club. We also have links with
Barnsley FC and Huddersfield Town
Ladies FC.
We see building a successful youth
programme to be vital in sustaining
participation in the adult game.”
