The 'Blades' Debate
Bottisham FC are aware that a number of concerns have arisen regarding potential injuries that may or may not be attributable to recent football boot designs. We would encourage parents to think carefully before making their decision on what boots to buy. It can be an expensive outlay. Also, some styles are only suitable for certain pitch conditions.

Bottisham Girls thank Football Foundation
Bottisham Under 11 Girls were celebrating today, thanks to the Football Foundation, the UK's largest sports charity. The foundation has provided the team with a brand new Nike kit worth £400 as part of it Junior kit scheme, providing strips and equipment to teams across the country. Over 8,000 kits have already been provided by the foundation to junior clubs and schools ensuring young players of all abilities have the very best possible start in the game. Funded by the FA Premier League, the Football Association, Sport England and the Government, the Football Foundation is dedicated to revitalising the grass roots of the game, constructing modern football facilities, developing football as a force for social cohesion and as a vehicle for education in communities. James Tideswell, Caroline Broad and Fiona Johnstone thank the Foundation for this grant. "The Kit is a huge boost for our organisation and the team looks great. There's some way to go before we reach the premier league but we certainly look the part"
