Mission
- Promote
football and to provide opportunities for all youth
- Emphasize
the development of self-esteem, good sportsmanship, fitness, achievement,
teamwork, and skill as well as encourage courtesy, proper conduct and
respect for authority by the players, officials, and spectators through
the playing of the game.
Philosophy
Our philosophy for ideal long term youth
player development is to play possessive attacking football.
Possessive meaning we like to keep the
ball in the attack.
Attacking meaning we like to penetrate
when we see the right opportunity. This style of play takes time, patience and
skill to develop; however, this style will set up our players at all levels to
reach their goals in football while enjoying their selves.
Each player will be well rounded in
regards to their physical, technical and physiological abilities on the
field. All players ideally need to be
able to play all positions, as it helps them to understand the game better
while being taught a balance of attack and defence.
Off field, we will teach all of our
players to be polite and respectful while being tough and aggressive.
A great soccer player equals a great
student equalling into a great citizen.

Brief History

Chilchila Division–Kipkelion District – Kericho County. This is a place where
the Nandi’s fought with the colonialist during the pre-colonial period, it is
also the place where a fossil ape ‘’Kenyapithecus
wickeri’’ was discovered by Louis Leakey in 1961.
Ground stars was formed in late 90’
early 2000’ when they broke up and form a branch of young stars fc. This
formation was due to growing number of young players who wanted playing time in
the parent team as most players ware students.
Ground stars fc begun taking its shape
in 2007 when there was much rivalry with Ruiru (Cherara) during which they had
many local tournaments and friendly matches which strengthened the team up
