Welcome to Histon Hornets
Histon Hornets Football Club is affiliated with Cambridgeshire Football Association. We are based in Histon & Impington, just North of Cambridge and run by volunteers to help local children enjoy football in a supportive and healthy environment.

The Club is committed to, and abides by, the FA rules and regulations concerning coaching, child Welfare and grass roots football development. We have a Child Protection Officer and, in keeping with our FA Charter Standard status, full CRC checks and minimum Level 1 coaching qualifications in place for all teams.

2024 /2025 tournament entries open
Histon Hornets F.C are pleased to announce their new junior inclusion football sessions. Following the success of our open age inclusive team joining us last season we are now launching two U16 sessions. 7-11 year old sessions will be focusing on confidence, skills and building friendships in a non-competitive environment. 12-16 year old sessions will be focusing on all the above with the aim to create a team who can play against other similar teams in friendlies and hopefully a league. We can also provide an internal pathway and opportunity for players to develop through their age banding and into our open age (16+ existing team). For players with a physical disability of any age, we can sign post to specific impairment opportunities and access to the regional U16 England para talent ID hub. What is inclusion football ? Inclusion football is aimed at helping anyone who needs extra support to play the game. This could be due to a physical, neurological, SEN or wellbeing need. We believe football should be for all and work hard to break down any barriers players may face. When ? Our sessions will run every Wednesday 6-7 pm. Where ? Impington Village college, New road, Impington, Cambridge, CB24 9LX Cost ? £3 per session Our team of experienced FA coaches have a great in-depth of knowledge in inclusion and impairment specific football, with our head of inclusion Zoe Harvey leading the sessions.
