Born out of the lack of opportunity for young players to get involved in football in Ripley, Ripley Rangers FC was formed in 2011 with just 4 teams, but has already exceeded the dreams and expectations of the founding members.
In 2016 Ripley Rangers merged with Ripley Town Football Clubs Adult team, and became Ripley Town Football Club.
The club now runs a team in most age groups, starting with the under 7’s, all the way up to the adult team, including teams for both boys and girls. We also have our "academy" for children 5 and under, which gives them the opportunity to train and be ready for when they're old enough to join the Under 7's team.
Run entirely by volunteers, Ripley Town FC is a family friendly club, working to include players and people from all areas of the community. The Club has already forged close links with Derby County and have managed to access significant funding from various local businesses and Councillors, to help develop even further.
All teams train once a week on dedicated training nights, depending on which age group they are in, and the clubs philosophy it to make training inclusive and FUN. Ripley Town provides a safe environment to help players develop their ball skills, increase fitness and above all learn important social skills, and make lots of new friends.
