Pilgrims FC

Pilgrims Football Club is a proud community football club based in the picturesque village of Great Chart, Ashford. Established in 2007, the club was born from a passion for grassroots football and a vision to create a welcoming, inclusive, and positive environment where players of all ages and abilities can thrive—both on and off the pitch. Since our founding, we’ve grown steadily and are now home to a vibrant and diverse football community. We offer football and social experiences for boys and girls from as young as 3 up to 16 years old. Our youth teams focus on the core values of teamwork, respect, sportsmanship, and development, with dedicated and qualified coaches who are passionate about helping young players reach their full potential in a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Our youngest members start in our introductory sessions, where the emphasis is on enjoyment, movement, and building a love for the game. As they progress through the age groups, players are supported in developing their technical ability, tactical understanding, and personal confidence. For those aged 16 and over, we provide open-aged men’s football opportunities. Whether players are looking to stay active, compete regularly, or simply enjoy the social side of the game, our senior squad welcomes individuals from all walks of life. We strive to maintain a competitive edge while never losing sight of the camaraderie and community spirit that define our club. Beyond football, Pilgrims FC is about connection—bringing people together through shared experiences, supporting one another, and celebrating each individual’s contribution to the club. We regularly host events, fundraisers, and socials that create a sense of belonging for players, parents, coaches, and supporters alike. At Pilgrims Football Club, we’re more than just a football team—we’re a family. Whether you’re lacing up your boots for the first time or continuing a lifelong love for the game, there’s a place for you here. Come join us on the journey—football for all, fun for everyone.
