Nairn County Community Football (NCCF) uses the power of football, and the Nairn County FC brand, to promote fun and participation in football for all children and young people aged under 14 in the town. NCCF is financially and operationally independent of Nairn County FC. It comprises Nairn County U14s, Nairn County Soccer 7s and Nairn County Fire who provide fully inclusive opportunities to be involved in fun sessions, mini festivals, small sided games, and league competitions through SYFA.
NCCF, along with our SHFL Youth System, provides a full pathway for young footballers in Nairn from age 5 through to the first team.
Nairn County Soccer 7s was formed in 2019 and provides opportunities for kids between 5 and 12 years old to play football every Sunday, regardless of ability or gender. Currently, over 130 boys and girls take part in regular weekly sessions.
Nairn County Fire was formed in late 2021. Currently, they have over 30 boys and girls at under-8 and under-10 level training on Monday and playing in matches and festivals on Saturday mornings. Some of these sessions run under Highlife Highland’s Active Schools programme.
While our pathway from Under-14s onwards is for boys, both boys and girls are actively encouraged to play with Nairn County Soccer 7s and Nairn County Fire, with additional playing options and a girls’ pathway available with Nairn St Ninian Women’s Team
