Tipperary Town · Founded 1975
A football start for every child
St Michaels Schoolboys F.C. provides youth football in Tipperary Town, with Cooke Park at the centre of coaching, matches and club activity.
Club identity
The schoolboys club in Tipperary Town
Founded in 1975, St Michaels Schoolboys F.C. is the underage club based in Tipperary Town. This page is not a school record and it is not the separate adult club listing.
The official round badge names St Michaels Schoolboys F.C. and Tipperary Town around a green, gold and navy centre. A cross, two cattle heads, a wall and river detail create a local visual identity that is far more specific than a generic saint’s crest.
The club describes its purpose as promoting and providing football for children under 16. Public updates show academy activity, registration by age group, league matches, camps and community events.
Player pathway
Academy football through the youth years
The academy gives younger children a first club environment, while older players move into age group coaching and organised matches. Team availability follows player numbers and the current season, so a fixture from an earlier year cannot be treated as the complete present programme.
When contacting the club, provide the player’s birth year, previous experience and preferred position. Ask which squad is appropriate, whether registration is open, the training time and where that team meets.
Parents should also confirm footwear, shin guards, membership, travel expectations and collection arrangements. For a young child, knowing the named coach and collection point is as important as knowing the kickoff.
Coaching and club activity
Development beyond a single match
Club camps and academy sessions add structured practice outside the weekly league fixture. They can introduce new children to the club and give existing players additional time with the ball, but each event has its own age and registration conditions.
Volunteers underpin youth football. Anyone offering to coach or help should use the public club channel and follow the club’s safeguarding and registration process rather than arriving informally at a children’s session.
Home ground
Cooke Park, Tipperary Town
Club registration, blitzes and home matches are regularly associated with Cooke Park. Published SFAI fixture records identify the venue as Cooke Park, Tipperary Town, while local listings place it on Rosanna Road in the Carrowreddy area.
Confirm the pitch, surface, entrance and arrival time with the current team. A busy youth programme can have several groups using the wider site, and weather can affect grass activity.
Visiting and joining
Use the schoolboys channels
Facebook and Instagram carry identity, registration and activity updates, while the Hudl page provides an additional football reference. Use the newest post for dates and places because an older directory contact may no longer reach the correct team.
Visiting teams should confirm the competition, age group, kickoff and Cooke Park pitch. Players need boots for the stated surface, shin guards, water and clothing for the conditions.
