History

Cumbernauld Colts FC has a long history in the town and indeed was the New Town’s first youth football club when it formed in 1969 and during the 70’s and early 80’s was the towns biggest youth football club.  A number of youngsters during this era went on to become professionals one such young man was Derek White of (Celtic, Aberdeen, Middlesbrough and Scotland International). 

With no infrastructure in place to bring on new teams each year, unfortunately during the 80’s and 90’s the club went into a period of decline with a number of teams disbanding, and during season 1998/99 the clubs one remaining team folded.  In 1999 the club was reborn and re-branded with the launch of a new single age group team and over the next five years was steadily built back up and is now again considered to be one of, if not the biggest club in Cumbernauld.

The club has both Boys and Girls Academy’s, the boys provides coaching for 5/6 year old children, with the girls 8-11 year old’s , these initiatives are the life blood of the club as each year new small sided game sectons are created.  The club has a Girls U13’s, boys small game sections at every level i.e. U8’s, 9’s, 10’s and 11’s and 11-a-side teams up to Adult level, in all sixteen sections with a playing membership of over 300.
