Wilberfoss boasts a thriving Charter Standard junior football club playing under the group moniker "the Mavericks". Founded in 2003 by a group of local parents and just one team, it has expanded to six teams and a group of 5-6 year olds affectionately known as the mini-mavs. The original team gained promotion in the York league in two successive seasons with one boy progressing to Leeds Academy, four to York City Centre of Excellence and one to Scarborough. 95% of the children at the club live within a 5 mile radius of the village, probably making us the most "local" team in the league.
With the excellent facilities provided by the pavilion and village playing fields the club has one EUFA B coach, two level two and 6 level one coaches. The club emphasis is on quality grassroots development and playing good football for enjoyment. Children are welcomed, regardless of ability, to come along, join in and add to their club's `team spirit'. Group tournaments and a lively end-of-season bbq and awards round off each season.
