About Rossglass County F.C.

Rossglass County Football Club was established in 1996 in County Down, Northern Ireland.

We have two senior teams, 5 junior teams and our “First Kickers” programme. We have provided football to children of all ages and ability during that time.

Some of our players have gone on to play in the Irish League and at higher levels. We offer quality coaching and competitive football in the Downpatrick area and welcome new players throughout the year regardless of age and ability.

We believe football is for everyone to be enjoyed by everyone.

Our Philosophy

Rossglass County’s football philosophy is one where every single player and team at the club is given the opportunity to develop their talent to the best of their ability. We aim to create a fun, enjoyable, yet challenging environment where players learn to have the confidence to be creative and express themselves freely.

All players are encouraged to feel comfortable and get on the ball as often as possible. They are encouraged to take risks and not to worry about making mistakes.
