WELCOME TO WELLINGTON COLLEGE FOOTBALL

We provide teams for all levels of ability and ambition. We want all the students who play football at Wellington College, irrespective of the level they play at, to enjoy it. We encourage players to play for both school and club teams to avoid having to make 'decisions' and foster their love & enjoyment of the game.
