Young footballers at the Glebe
Coachford Schoolboys AFC is the youth football entry listed by the SFAI for Coachford, County Cork. Schoolboy fixtures use the Glebe, the local soccer ground. The programme sits within a village football tradition that has produced players for Coachford’s adult teams and sustained youth football across several age groups.
Teams
Schoolboy football across the age groups
Published 2026 fixtures confirm Coachford at under 12 Premier level and under 14 in the Cork Schoolboys League. An August 2026 club notice also scheduled an under 15 home match at the Glebe. Contact the club for its full current team list, including the correct group for a child’s year of birth.
Joining
Start with the schoolboys contact
The SFAI directory lists dympcro71@gmail.com for Coachford Schoolboys AFC. Include the player’s date of birth, football experience and a parent or guardian’s contact details. Ask for a place and the coach’s instructions before attending a session.
Younger players
Ask about the current academy intake
A 2014 local notice records the Killinardrish / Coachford academy welcoming boys aged seven to eleven at the Glebe. That notice documents the programme’s earlier activity. Ask the club for today’s starting age, intake dates and session times; those older details should not be used as the current timetable.
Membership
Confirm fees and arrangements directly
The sources checked do not provide a current schoolboy membership price or a verified registration form. Before paying, confirm the season’s fee, any training charges, required kit and the club’s registration route. Parents can also ask for the children’s officer and the team’s communication arrangements.
Club updates
Follow the current fixture notice
The Coachford AFC account carries club and schoolboy updates. Use the latest team notice for kick off times and changes, then confirm your destination with the coach. An opponent’s home ground in an away fixture is a travel destination for that match, rather than an additional Coachford home venue.
Club story
A youth programme with roots in village football
Coachford AFC marked fifty years in 2019, tracing the wider club’s beginnings to 1969. The community account of that anniversary describes a move from borrowed fields and changing beside cars to established playing and training facilities at the Glebe. Local fundraising and volunteer work supported that change over many years.
That anniversary year brought the club’s first Mossie Linnane Cup, secured with a 1–0 win over Grattan United at Turner’s Cross. The same report records an under 13 league title and credits youth development for supplying players to the adult side. It names Luke and Billy Casey, Mark and Adam Murphy, Matthew Bradley, and Sean and Evan O’Sullivan among that younger group.
For a family joining now, the route starts with the schoolboys organiser. Confirm the suitable team, its training day and the correct entrance at the Glebe. The published youth fixtures establish continuing football activity, while places, fees and age group allocations need a current answer from the club.
