Club History
22 Jun 2010

Camberley boys were founded on 15th June 1991 at an Inaugural Meeting held in the Royal Standard public house in Frimley Road, Camberley. The attendees were Andy Hammond, Gary Pym and Steve Simpson.
There were two teams in the original formation, which were quickly doubled with another one joining and one formed from the under 8 age group.
The first season saw 4 teams wearing the Camberley colours. The choice of colours were
due to a lack of funds and the need for a colour scheme which did not clash with opponents. The choice was the Barcelona stripes of the time. The Club grew quickly over the years with the 1999/2000 season having 27 teams wearing the Club colours.
The original teams were playing out of Frimley Green Recreation Ground and the under 8`s at Grove School. As the Club grew we came under considerable pressure to find more venues for our teams. Thanks to the efforts of Jeff Shaw we were able to form a harmonious alliance with Farnborough Sixth Form College which is current to date and recently, we have been fortunate enough to be able to use the college's new astro turf facility for all of our teams training.

In 2009, Camberley Boys FC was awarded "FA charter status". This means we adhere to a set list of criteria, laid down by the FA, and adopt all best practices of running a youth football organisation. The main change being all managers and coaches have enhanced CRB checks and have completed an FA level 1 training course, including 1st aid and child protection workshops.

The season 2011/12 see's the club launch both a girls section and Junior training sessions for school years reception, 1 & 2.

As we celebrate our first 20 years, it would be remiss of me not to mention the driving force behind Camberley Boys FC. Andy Hammond was there in the beginning and until his retirement in 2009, was the heartbeat of the club. His drive, enthusiasm and ethos is still very much part of the club and lives on with the current committee. The club wouldnot be what it is today without Andy Hammond.
