About Us

FC Quebec Park Rangers was originally formed as Bolton Nomads FC in 2012. In late 2019, the club underwent a rebrand for the 2020/21 season, adopting the name FC Quebec Park Rangers to honour our home base at Quebec Fields. The club was established by dedicated local volunteers in partnership with Pikes Lane Community Club and Bolton Nomads FC, uniting under a new banner with a shared vision.

At FC Quebec Park Rangers, we are committed to providing opportunities for children and young people to engage in football and reach their full potential. Our mission is to create a fun, challenging, and supportive environment that inspires every player to grow naturally, develop their skills, and achieve their maximum potential.

Our vision extends beyond football. We aim to nurture passionate, skillful players through innovative and engaging training methods while fostering values of respect, hard work, and friendliness. We aspire to shape not just talented footballers, but well-rounded individuals who can serve as role models within their communities.

Each player becomes part of our long-term development program, designed to cultivate confident grassroots footballers and build teams that thrive both on and off the field. Whether in training or matches, we prepare our players to approach every challenge with confidence and composure.

Our Club Philosophy

At FC Quebec Park Rangers, our philosophy focuses on helping children and young people develop into confident and skilful footballers. We are committed to nurturing each player’s abilities and encouraging a love for the game from an early age.

We place great importance on individual technical skills, ensuring that every player becomes proficient in all aspects of football. Our aim is to inspire a passion for having the ball and instil a desire to improve, challenging players to reach their full potential in a supportive and engaging environment.

We prioritise personal development, focusing on nurturing well-rounded individuals rather than short-term results. Through our comprehensive player development programme, we help players build their game craft, enhance their football intelligence, and develop the ability to make informed decisions across all formats of the game.

At the core of our philosophy is the belief that learning always comes first. By prioritising development and understanding of the game, we aim to develop not only exceptional footballers but also confident, thoughtful individuals who embody respect and perseverance both on and off the pitch.

Player Development

  • our player development programme is closely aligned with the FA model, ensuring that players develop holistically and gain the skills needed to excel in the modern game. Our approach is guided by a clear philosophy and playing style, focusing on the following key areas:
  1. Physical Literacy: Developing players’ fundamental movement skills to improve agility, balance, coordination, and overall athleticism, forming a strong foundation for football performance.
  2. Football Literacy & Ball Manipulation: Enhancing technical proficiency and control, helping players master the ball and feel confident in their ability to manipulate it in a variety of situations.
  3. Individual & Team Possession: Teaching players to retain the ball effectively, both as individuals and within a team framework, promoting smart decision-making and teamwork.
  4. Managing Game Situations: Encouraging players to develop their football intelligence by learning to read the game, adapt to different scenarios, and make tactical decisions under pressure.
  5. Working as Units: Fostering collaboration within small groups and larger team structures, helping players understand roles, responsibilities, and how to support one another on the pitch.
  6. Finding & Creating Space: Instilling an awareness of movement and positioning to exploit space effectively, whether in attack or defence, ensuring players contribute dynamically to their team’s play.

By following this structured philosophy and playing style, we aim to provide each player with the  tools to thrive, both as individuals and as part of a team. Our goal is to help players not only achieve success on the pitch but also develop the skills and mindset that extend far beyond the game.


Playing Philosophy

  • “To play possession football in order to dominate play”
Our playing philosophy is built around the principle of possession football, aiming to dominate play through intelligent control and movement of the ball. This approach reflects modern football's emphasis on technical proficiency, tactical understanding, and teamwork.

At every level—whether it's 5-a-side, 7-a-side, 9-a-side, or 11-a-side—we encourage players to maintain composure, make smart decisions, and work collectively to retain possession. This involves building from the back, transitioning fluidly between defence and attack, and creating opportunities through effective ball circulation and movement off the ball.

Our focus is on developing football intelligence, teaching players to read the game and adapt to different phases of play. By mastering the fundamentals of passing, receiving, and positioning, we empower players to keep the ball under pressure and dictate the tempo of the game.

We also prioritise the concept of finding and creating space, a key element in the FA’s playing principles. Players are taught to identify pockets of space, exploit them effectively, and support their teammates by offering options.

At FC Quebec Park Rangers, this possession-based philosophy isn’t just about keeping the ball—it’s about using it purposefully to control the flow of the game, break down opponents, and create goal-scoring opportunities while maintaining defensive solidity. This holistic approach ensures our teams are competitive, confident, and play with a clear identity at every level of the game.
