DATEN FC and CULCHETH SPORTS CLUB FC
We are an amateur football club, founded in 1948 and affiliated to the Lancashire FA.
We have four open age teams playing football on Saturday afternoons in the Cheshire Association Football League and in the Warrington and District Football League. We also run a Sunday team which is a Veterans team (over 35) who play in the Bolton Sports Federation Over 35 Veterans Football League.
The Club is renowned for it's excellent facilities which include two superb home pitches at the Sports Club grounds in Culcheth that are maintained by a full time groundsman. The changing rooms are carpeted and centrally heated. Showers are also provided.

The season kicks off from mid August and goes through into May of the following year. Pre season training sessions are held from 7pm to 9pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Culcheth High School and begin on the last Tuesday in June. During the season, training sessions are also held on Tuesday and Thursday, from 7pm to 9pm at Culcheth High School with one hour spent on an all-weather pitch on each evening.
The Football Club is active on the fundraising front in order to keep down the costs for the players, but inevitably for a completely self-funding amateur club there are some fees to pay to cover the Club's own running costs and to make a direct contribution to grounds maintenance. In common with the other Culcheth Sports Club Sections, all players must be CSC Members, but this presents no problems and can be arranged readily via the Football Club's Officials and Team Managers. The Football Section's own fees are:

Seasonal Fees (in addition to CSC Membership Fee):

1. Signing On Fee of £25-00
2. Warrington and District League insurance ranging from £2 to £20 depending on the level of benefit chosen by the player. There are no compulsory insurance requirements for players in the Cheshire or Bolton Leagues.
   
3. Running Cost Fees. There is a standing order of £20-00 per month payable in order to cover operational costs.

New players are always welcome to what is a friendly and sociable club. All our teams have been pretty successful to date and the football in all our teams is to a good standard, although since we have several teams there are opportunities for players of all abilities.
