About us

Welcome to Wakefield Owls! There is some information here about the club, the committee who help to run it, our vision and values.

The club was founded in 2016 with an under 11’s football team. The club aims to be an integral part of the community in the Outwood, Wrenthorpe, Lofthouse, Stanley, and wider Wakefield area by providing sporting opportunities to young people and adults. We want to make sporting activity available to the community and to make sport an integral part of the community by encouraging regular challenging fun activities in an inclusive, safe and nurturing environment.

Currently, our permanent home is Stanley Rodillians Rugby Club. All of our home matches and training sessions take place here, apart from winter training. We have a very strong relationship with the Rugby Club and the local community.

Football associations

We play in the Garforth Junior Football League. This has the reputation of being one of the best leagues in the UK. The league is very competitive and teams are generally placed in divisions of equal ability teams. We believe this is very beneficial in terms of both player development and having fun.
