Welcome to White Rose All Stars JFC.

Established in 2002 WRAS started with just 16 players at its first training session for ages 4-9 years old. 9 years later the club now has 29 teams and 275 players creating a pathway for players aged 4- over 35 years old.

Director Of Coaching/Founder James Rourke always had an ambition since leaving professional academy football at Huddersfield Town to set up a junior football club which had a philosophy and ethos engrained into the players at an early age which is transparent at every age group.

The vision was to have a pathway for all players and in that pathway create an environment where the club not only creates better footballers but also better people.

The environment that is created by players, coaches and parents is paramount in a young persons life and this is one which WRAS are proud of.

We want to create a family environment where everyone involved supports each other to have one common goal which is to become the best they can be.

KEEP UP TO DATE!

TESTIMONIALS

My 6 year old currently plays for White Rose Allstars football club, he has trained with the club since he was 5. The coaches are fantastic and develop the children in a fun and safe environment. Not only developing their physical skills but also teaching them life skills. My son started as a very nervous young boy who let his emotions sometimes get the best of him but the coaches patience and perseverance paid off and just over a year later, he has learnt to deal with his emotions in a more positive way not only at training but at home too. He is now a very confident happy little boy who can’t wait to take part in training and matches every week. Not only do the club help the children become the best they can be but they also try to instill in parents not to coach from the sideline. It’s great to watch the children be able to play football free to make their own decisions and/or mistakes without feeling the pressure from parents shouting and making decisions for them. It’s a great club for children of all abilities and overall the children are happy and developing as well rounded individuals.

White Rose is run extremely professionally. The training and coaching received is second to none. The coaches are genuinely invested in the kids and their progress and champion them every step of the way. The talent and progress of the team is outstanding, even during lockdown they have sustained excellent coaching sessions and support keeping them busy & match ready. My son has attended many development academies over the years, White Rose is different, a lot of thought goes into each age range training session and you can see the development of the kids progress week in week out. This has opened doors for Luke into professional academies which is thanks to the encouragement & coaching he has received here. Cannot recommend enough!!

Both our boys have been with Whiterose All-stars since a very young age. Our oldest from the age of 5yrs, to now still training and playing with his fantastic team in the U16's. Then our youngest from the age of 4yrs to now training and playing with his amazing team in the U10's. James Rourke and the rest of his hard working coaches, really put all if the boys and girls first! Our boys are both growing up to be respectful, strong, sociable young lads. We as parents believe that the training and dedicated time James and his team spend with them has certainly been a huge part of their upbringing, and how they have developed both skillfully and emotionally. We are very proud of them both and we are also very proud to all be a part of the Whiterose FAMILY
