Taking the lead in sport and community development

Continental Star is a unique Sport and Community Club located in the West Midlands. The club has its roots in central Birmingham and has branched out in recent years from its original focus on football.

Today, Continental Star is a Social Enterprise and a registered charity that seeks to help those within the community that are often marginalised and considered by others as hard to reach. The Club now offers a range of community services in addition to a growing portfolio of sports activities. As well as running football teams for the under 7’s right up to the over 35’s, and a ladies’ team, Continental Star also delivers a successful after-school Homework Club which targets disadvantaged young people and women’s help group providing valuable support and advice to the unemployed and lone parents. The club also acts as Grassroots B.A.M.E (Black & Asian Minority Ethnic) advisors to the FA and the Kick It Out campaign.

On the field, Continental Star Football Club recently moved to share facilities with Rushall Olympic - another step up in the progress of the Club. This sense of security has enabled the club to rapidly advanceme both on and off the pitch. Continued strengthening at Board level and within the Coaching staff, coupled with increasing funding initiatives have produced a new confidence and zest, which is driving through the development of the club on and off the pitch.

Charity gets Star rating

Sherborne Town manager Mickey Spencer has heaped praise on a football charity aimed at giving people a second chance with the sport. 

Continental Star is a social enterprise and sports club based in the West Midlands that seeks to help those within the community that are often marginalised and considered by others as hard to reach. 

The charity fields two adult sides and six youth football teams, providing an opportunity for people with a troubled background an opportunity to get back on track. 

Continental Star took a team to Tool-station Western League Division One outfit Gillingham on Saturday and despite losing 2-1 left a big impression on those present. 

Playing attractive, quick football and demonstrating the exemplary disciplinary record that has seen them pick up just one red card in almost ten years, they could consider themselves hard done by not to get at least a draw. 

Spencer said: "I would really like to compliment them on their great set-up, great display and great performance. 

"I hope that we at Sherborne Town will be able to form a link and maybe even bring a few players to our club in the years to come."

Cultural Exchange Programme
On the 4th of June a team from Ireland are coming over to the Grassroots Live Football Show. As part of their itinerary they have asked to play two fixtures against a Birmingham football team. The two games will be at BCU Moor Lane on Friday the 4th of June (7pm kick off) and Sunday 6th June (12pm kick off).
 
The games will allow two different communities to come together through football and celebrate each other’s culture and heritage. The two games will allow for an arena of education, tolerance and acceptance. The games will also allow young people to mix and integrate and show the true power of football in uniting communities.
 
Continental Star have been put forward to represent Birmingham as the club that have maintained a high level of service to the community of Birmingham. The Club has served the city of Birmingham well for several years and continues to do so. Moreover, the Club has worked closely with Birmingham County FA in promoting, leading and delivering on key county development schemes.
