About the Club

Blairgowrie & Rattray Community Football Trust (BRCFT) exists to nurture the love of football throughout Eastern Perthshire and harness the power of the game to improve the health, wellbeing and outlook of the people and communities we serve.

The Club was formed in 2011 to promote youth football within Blairgowrie and Rattray, evolving from the former Davie Park Sports Association, which had overseen football in the area since 1985. Since then, the organisation has grown significantly and continues to develop football opportunities for people of all ages and abilities, providing a safe, inclusive and enjoyable environment for everyone to take part.

Today, our club pathway encompasses Blairgowrie Juniors, Balmoral Amateurs, alongside a growing programme of children's, youth and women's football. We provide opportunities across a wide range of formats and age groups, from Fun Fours, 5-a-side and 7-a-side through to 11-a-side, Junior and Amateur football. Our teams are supported by appropriately qualified SFA coaches, alongside trained volunteers and staff who are committed to creating positive experiences for every player.

As a Scottish Quality Mark Community Football Club and a registered charity, we are proud of the progress made since our formation. In 2016, working in partnership with the SFPT, we helped deliver much-needed changing facilities at Piggy Lane, Blairgowrie, where previously there had been none. We have continued to invest in facilities and opportunities for the local community, including the development of a purpose-built community facility with a 3G pitch.

Our work now extends well beyond football. With four full-time employees supporting our pillars of Community, Football and Education, BRCFT is committed to using sport as a vehicle for wider positive change. We are continuing to develop our facilities, programmes and partnerships to provide greater support and opportunities for the whole community, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender or ability.

We also recognise the vital role that volunteers play in making our organisation successful. Whether you are interested in coaching, first aid, safeguarding, administration, fundraising, committee work or simply helping out, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference in Blairgowrie and Rattray.
