History
2002 Origins of Lymm Piranhas
07 Oct 2009
Lymm Piranhas was founded by Graham Sweeney in 2002. Graham was a forerunner of the Futbal de Salao phenomenon started by renowned football coaching Guru Simon Clifford. FDS as it was known was a way in which kids in Britain could experience Brazilian style football methods. The name Piranhas stemmed from one of the main clubs playing in the Brazilian League.
Graham coached youngsters across Warrington and was keen for a team to emerge from these coaching classes, with the emphasis on passing, movement, appreciation of the ball and having fun.
From it's early beginnings teams continued to be produced each year. The team first played at Little Manor in Thelwall, where to this day teams continue to play and train. Each year since then new teams have formed and from this tiny acorn, the club now has over 150 kids playing from under 5s up to Under 14s. The teams play across a number of sites in the Lymm & Thelwall area of South Warrington
The club prides itself on having an excellent reputation amongst other clubs, having strong links with the community and of developing and nurturing talent, always with the emphasis on the kids playing with a smile on their face.
In 2009 we were committed to achieving FA Charter Status and saw this as an important step in the club improving our coaches, attaining more opportunities for finding a permanent home and enhancing its growing reputation within the Warrington Leagues and beyond.
We were pleased to confirm that Lymm Piranhas was successful in this goal in the later stages of that year!!

LYMM PIRANHAS JFC RECEIVE FA CHARTER STANDARD CLUB AWARD
Cheshire County Football Association awarded Lymm Piranhas JFC the prestigious FA Charter Standard Club award for grassroots football in November 2009.
The FA Charter Standard programme, supported by FA partner McDonald’s, was established to help clubs to improve standards of coaching, administration, player development and safeguarding children. The FA Charter Standard award is presented to those clubs like Lymm Piranhas JFC who have raised their standards in these areas and lead the field in promoting best football practice, both on and off the pitch in grassroots football.
Lymm Piranhas JFC were presented with their award on Tuesday 2 March 2010 at one of their training grounds at Lymm Leisure Centre, and were honoured by Glasgow Rangers defender David Weir, and Cheshire County FA Chief Executive Maureen Dunford.
