Moorside Rangers are one of only a hand full of clubs that have receive the 3* accreditation from Manchester FA as a result of offering football to all.

Youth teams

Moorside Rangers has in excess of 400 players currently registered with the club, playing across 30+ teams, from the foundation group introducing kids to the joys of football from the age of 4, through to u7 when they can play structured matches within leagues across the North West, all the way through to U18 when they finish their Youth football experience, we are proud of the relationships that we build and the skills that we provide our players with, that will serve them well in adult life, whether that be within the world of football or beyond.

Girls specific teams

The female game is going from strength to strength, most recently with the Lionesses that have inspired a generation of girls to take up football.  Moorside Rangers is embracing this momentum and whilst all our teams are mixed, and we have multiple teams containing both boys and girls, we are proud to offer girls specific football as well.  As well as our mixed gender foundation group for 4-6 year olds, we offer a girls specific Wildcats foundation group for girls aged 7 to 9 for those joining the game a little later, and girls specific teams at U12 and U14 with the ambition to expand these to a full range of ages as players express an interest.

Disability Football

Moorside Rangers is proud to be one of only a handful of grassroots clubs to offer disability football, truly delivering football for all, which is something that we strive for as a culture.  Partnering with DS Active, we offer Downs Syndrome specific football sessions for all ages and have players from 4 years old to our oldest participant who is in his 40’s.  These Down Syndrome sessions offer a welcome alternative to the pan disability sessions offered through local Premier League community teams and are as invaluable for the parents as the participants creating a fun, safe environment to build relationships with other players and families in the local area.

First Team

Moorside Rangers have one of the best first teams in Grassroots football, currently playing in the Manchester Football League Limited Premier Division, the first team are 1 promotion away from the North West Counties League and semi professional football.  We believe that this first team, and their success on and off the field allows us to offer a unique pathway for our players from when they join at 4 all the way through to adult football and the ongoing relationships, team work health and fitness benefits that football provides.
